Train movement between Dhaka and the northern parts of the country restored on Monday after six hours of suspension as a bogie of an inter-city train derailed in Akkelpur Rail Station.
Khadiza Khatun, station master of Bogura’s Santahar Railway Junction, said the power car bogie of Kurigram-bound inter-city train ‘Kurigram Express’ veered off the tracks around 3:30 am at Bhadrakali in Akkelpur upazila, halting train movement on the route, reports UNB.
Later, the train movement resumed around 9 am after a relief train salvaged the derailed bogie, she said.
