Train movement between Bhairab, Mymensingh resumes after 18 hours

Train communication between Kishoreganj’s Bhairab and Mymensingh resumed around 18 hours after a derailment in the Katiadi upazila of Kishoreganj on Saturday afternoon.

Mohammad Mizanur Rahman, master of Kishoreganj Rail Station, confirmed the development to UNB, saying that train operation resumed around 10:30 a.m. on the Bhairab and Mymensingh route.

Two rescue trains from Bramanbaria’s Akhaura and Mymensingh stations arrived around 11:30 p.m. on Saturday night and removed the derailed train, Kishoreganj Express, at Gachihata Rail Station Point under Katiadi upazila.

Earlier yesterday afternoon, train movement on the route came to a halt when the engine and two compartments of the Dhaka-bound Kishoreganj Express derailed while entering Gachihata Rail Station Point around 4:20 p.m.
