Rail link on Dhaka-Mymensingh route restored

By Redoy K

Rail connectivity between Dhaka and Tangail, Narsingdi, and Mymensingh was disrupted for a day after a derailment at Joydebpur Junction. Seven coaches of an empty Dhaka-Tangail commuter train rammed into a stationary oil tanker train, injuring three staffers. Rescue operations continued for two days, and a probe committee was formed. Train services on the western routes faced delays due to single-line operations. Photo: Collected
