Train derails at C'nawabganj
Rail links of the district with Rajshahi and Rohonpur remained suspended for nearly six and a half hours yesterday after a compartment of a passenger train derailed near Milki area in the town. Locals and station officials said, a goods-laden wagon of the Khulna-bound Mohananda Express veered off the tracks near the outer signal at Milki 10 minutes after it left Chapainawabganj Rail Station at about 5:00am. A Sirajganj-bound passenger train, which was scheduled to leave Chapainawabganj at 7:30am, got stranded following the derailment. The accident might have occurred due to faulty railway tracks, they said. Mohammad Moniruzzaman, master of Chapainawabganj Railway Station, said the rail communication was restored at about 11:30am after technicians from Amnura railway junction rushed to the spot and conducted the rescue operation.
