The initiative to launch new trains is commendable, but locals will be deprived of benefits unless stoppages are ensured at Tebunia. I urge railway authorities to implement this demand promptly."
Pabna District Jamaat Amir Khandaker Zakaria said, "Railways are among the easiest and most cost-effective modes of travel for common people. Having train stoppages at Tebunia will benefit students, job seekers, traders, and all strata of society. Considering public hardship, I strongly urge the relevant authorities to restore the train stoppages."
Faisal Ahmed Pallab added, "Due to the absence of train halts at Tebunia, passengers from this region are forced to spend extra time and money traveling to other stations. Ensuring halts for the 'Pabna Probhati' and 'Pabna Godhuli' trains at Tebunia will alleviate long-standing public misery. We draw the authorities' attention to execute this demand swiftly."
