Railway authorities conducted an eviction drive to clear illegal structures from public land near the Naldanga Railway Station in Sadullapur Upazila on Tuesday (June 9). The operation ran from 10:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
During the drive, over 50 large and small illegal businesses were demolished around the station and Rail Gate No. 1.
Bangladesh Railway Lalmonirhat Divisional Executive Magistrate Md. Munjurul Islam led the operation, supported by the Railway Police and Sadullapur Police Station.
