Three wagons of a container train derailed in the capital's Uttara early Monday. Train services on that line have been suspended.
However, since there is a double line, trains are running on another line. It has caused delays as trains are now running in both directions on a single track.
Kamalapur Railway Station Master Md Anowar Hossain said, 'The incident took place around 5:30 am in Uttara’s Azampur. The container train was on its way from Dhaka to Chattogram.'
He further said the route from Dhaka is now closed. However, trains are coming and going on the Dhaka-bound line. This has not paused operations, but some trains are delayed by half an hour, 40 minutes, or an hour.
According to the station master, recovery efforts are underway to retrieve the derailed train and remove it from the track.
