Ishwardi representative After the death of 2 persons and injuries of more than half a hundred villagers, Ishwardi bypass station area is still in a state of chaos. Due to lawsuits and counter-suits, most of the villagers are now out of the area.
Last Friday, there was a day-long clash between the people of Doharshail village and Moubari village adjacent to the station over the issue of train tickets at Ishwardi bypass station. Both villagers got involved in this conflict. The bypass station square turned into a battlefield. Later, reserve police from Pabna came and brought the situation under control.
It is known that a strong ticket smuggling syndicate has been formed around the Ishwardi bypass station. The members of this syndicate buy inter-city train tickets in advance and keep them in their collection. Many have said that the ticket sellers of the station are in secret collusion with them.
2 km from Ishwardi city. As the bypass station is far away, people from the city have to come here with great difficulty to buy tickets. There is no ticket at the ticket counter. Not getting tickets, train passengers have to look for smugglers. They can be found in the tea shops adjacent to the station. Even if the ticket is finally available, its price is very high. After much persuasion and finally a compromise was reached, the passengers bought the tickets from the smugglers. This is how a smuggling syndicate is making money from train passengers. Complaining to the station master many times in this regard did not help. In the past, there have been clashes between the villagers at this station over whether or not to get train tickets. However, this time the level of this conflict is much higher than other times. The fact that 2 people died and more than half a hundred villagers were injured in a clash over tickets has created panic in the minds of the locals. Currently the situation is very calm as the police are guarding.
