1 killed, 30 hurt as trains collide

Railway sources said the Dhaka-bound intercity Teesta Express left Bahadurabad Ghat at 3:00pm and entered the line no 3 of its upper station at 3:05pm due to a wrong clearance.

The driver of the passenger train braked hard but failed to stop the speeding train that rammed into the goods train standing on the line.
