Train communication between the Dhaka-Joydebpur route remained suspended for half an hour due to the derailment of two train bogies at Dhirasram rail station in Gazipur on Thursday morning.
Hanif Ali, station master of Joydebpur Railway Junction, said that two compartments of the Dhaka-bound Turag Express veered off the tracks at Dhirasram Rail Station at about 7:15am, halting train movement for half an hour.
Train movement resumed through the other railway line.
The schedules of Jamalpur commuter train and Dhaka-bound Banalata Express were disrupted due to the derailment. A relief train from the local station reached the spot three hours after the derailment and is working to rescue the derailed bogies.
