Government gives green signal to Dhaka-Kolkata train 
clipped from timesofindia.indiatimes.com The Bangladesh army chief has been invited to India and should be visiting soon. The caretaker government, which has the blessings of the army, has thus far taken steps to restore law and order and re-create some much desired institutions in Bangladesh.
Sources said this did not dilute India's commitment to democracy or India's ability to persuade Bangladesh to return to democracy. But it meant that India would not dump its smaller neighbours, never mind their system of government.
The train will be operated by India and Bangladesh for six months each. Doubtless to be greeted with equal amounts of nostalgia and enthusiasm, the service will supplement the Kolkata-Dhaka bus service that has been on for a few years now.
It is clear that India is willing to deal with even the caretaker government in Bangladesh.
NEW DELHI: It was filmmaker Ritwik Ghatak's most haunting visual of the Bengal partition — in
Bangla (other Bengal) on a train which never really gets there. The visual remains etched: a railway line to the "other Bengal" cut in the middle.
(April 14, Bengali New Year) this year, this is finally set to change. In the new atmosphere of cooperation between the interim government in Bangladesh and India, the Kolkata-Dhaka rail link will be restored, opening up yet another crucial cross-border linkage with India's neighbours.
