Train goes off track in Feni
Train communications on Dhaka-Chittagong route disrupted for about six hours yesterday as a container train derailed near Muhuriganj railway station in the district. Local railway sources said a compartment of the capital-bound train, 801, coming from Chittagong went off the tracks at about 5:30am. Train movement on the route, however, resumed at about 11:30am as rescue trains from Laksam and Chittagong rushed to the spot and salvaged the derailed train. Zakir Hossain, Chittagong divisional railway traffic official, said about one km rail tracks in the area was damaged due to the incident. Hence, trains passing by the area are now running slowly. It will take two to three days to mend the rail tracks fully, he said.
