Dhaka-Sylhet rail link snapped
Sylhet, June 26 - Sylhet’s rail communication with the capital Dhaka and other parts of the country was cut off on Wednesday evening after the Sylhet-bound Paharika Express train derailed in Fenchuganj.
"Two compartments of the train veered off the track on the Moglabazar-Maizgaon section around 7 pm, halting train movement," said Md Nurul Islam, manager of Sylhet Railway Station.
Sylhet-bound Kalni Express and Jayantika Express trains from Dhaka got stuck following the derailment, he added.
"Necessary measures are being taken to normalize the train movement," added the manager. -UNB
