Dhaka’s rail link with northern region resumes after 6 hours

Train movement between Dhaka and the northern parts of the country was restored on Monday after six hours of suspension as a bogie of an inter-city train derailed at Akkelpur Rail Station.

Khadiza Khatun, station master of Bogura’s Santahar Railway Junction, said the power car bogie of the Kurigram-bound inter-city train 'Kurigram Express' veered off the tracks around 3:30 am at Bhadrakali in Akkelpur upazila, halting train movement on the route.

Later, train services resumed around 9:00 am after a relief train salvaged the derailed bogie, she said.
