The Eid advance ticket sale started on Friday. Tickets for April, 17 were sold out within minutes of the first day of ticket sales. But today the situation seems different. Ticket aspirants were unable to enter online on time. So they could not even buy tickets on time.
Kamalapur Railway Station Manager, Masud Sarwar told reporters that due to the high pressure of advance train ticket seekers, complications have arisen in the server. This is why ticket sales are slow.
"At least 1 million visitors can access the Bangladesh Railway app every minute. Eight thousand tickets can be sold per minute. But today the number of ticket aspirants is very high. At least 13 lakh visitors are entering at once, due to which complications have arisen due to excessive pressure on the server", he added.
Those who are not able to enter the server sitting at home, are not able to buy tickets, they are crowding in front of the counter at Kamalapur station.
