Train Derails in Gazipur

Two bogies of an oil-laden train derailed at Tongi Railway Station in Gazipur Sunday noon, said authorities.

The bogies of the Dhaka bound freight train from Akhaura veered off the tracks before entering Tongi station around 2:30pm, said Tongi Railway Junction Station Master Abdur Rakib.

However, the rail communication of Dhaka with Sylhet and Chattogram remained normal through an alternative route, he added.

The higher authorities were informed to salvage the bogies, he added._UNB
