Ctg-Dhaka-Sylhet rail link suspended

Train communication of Chittagong with Dhaka and Sylhet has remained suspended following derailment of a freight train in Akhaura railway junction on Thursday morning.

Local sources said wheels of three bogies of a Dhaka-bound freight train from Chittagong veered off the track around 10:20 am, halting train movement on the Chittagong-Dhaka and Chittagong-Sylhet routes.

A relief train from Akhaura reached the spot and started salvage work.
