Train operation between Dhaka and the country’s northern districts has been suspended since 8 am today, after Jamuna Express’ engine went out of order at Joydebpur Station of Gazipur district this morning.

Rezaul Karim, a station master of Joydebpur Station, told UNB that rail communication between the capital and northern districts came to a halt as the engine of Dhaka-bound Jamuna Express from Jamalpur’s Dewanganj went of order around 8 am, resulting in disruption on both sides of the rail tracks.

Efforts are on to move the train, he said, adding that train communication will resume soon after it is removed.
