Two bogies of an oil-laden train derailed at Tongi railway station in Gazipur on Sunday afternoon.

The bogies of the Dhaka-bound freight train from Akhaura veered off the tracks before entering Tongi station around 2:30pm, said Tongi railway junction Station Master Abdur Rakib.

However, the rail communications of Dhaka with Sylhet and Chattogram remained normal through an alternative route, he added.
