Dhaka, March 2 -- The government has decided to conduct mobile court drives to identify passengers without tickets and prevent ticket black marketing and stop travel on the roof of trains during the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr.

The decision was taken at a meeting held at Rail Bhaban in the capital on Monday to ensure safe, smooth and comfortable train journeys during Eid, with Railway Minister Shaikh Rabiul Alam in the chair.

The meeting decided to sell standing tickets equivalent to 25 percent of the total number of seats on each train to manage additional passenger pressure during the Eid-ul-Fitr.
