Bangladesh PM supports Dhaka-Cox's Bazar tourist train

Dhaka: A high-speed tourist train linking Dhaka and Cox's Bazar has received the support of Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Hasina made the remark via video-conference while launching a new train service on the Dhaka-Panchagarh route named Panchagarh Express.
