Dhaka’s rail link with Sylhet restored after 7hrs

Rail communications between Dhaka and Sylhet were restored Tuesday afternoon after 10 hours of suspension following derailment of a bogie of a freight train near Mukundapur railway station in Bijoynagar of Brahmanbaria.

Saiful Islam, station master of Mukundapur railway station, said a bogie of the oil-laden freight train from Akhaura veered off the tracks in a place between Mukundapur and Harashpur of the district around 10:50am, halting
train services on the route.

Md Monir Uddin, loco Shed in-charge of Akhaura railway junction station, said the rail communications resumed around 6:15 pm when a relief train from Akhaura station removed the bogie from the tracks.

Two trains of ‘Paharika Express’, one Sylhet-bound train and another Chattogram-bound train got stranded at Akhaura Railway Junction Station and Shayestaganj railway station respectively following the derailment,
he added.
