Observer Online Report

Train services on the Dhaka-Chattogram route have returned to normal after a fire broke out in the engine of the Egarosindur train (No. 750) bound for Dhaka from Kishoreganj on Friday (November 13). Bangladesh Railway has formed a four-member probe committee to investigate the cause of the fire.

The fire broke out in the train's engine in the area between Pubail and Tongi in Gazipur on Friday afternoon. After the fire was brought under control, an alternative engine was attached to the train, allowing it to resume its journey towards Dhaka. No casualties were reported in the incident.

Bangladesh Railway Director (Public Relations) Anisur Rahman confirmed the matter.

He said the fire in the Egarosindur train's engine had been extinguished and the train was taken to Dhaka after another engine was attached. No one was injured or killed in the incident.

He further said a four-member probe committee had been formed to investigate the cause of the engine fire. The actual cause will be known after the committee submits its findings.

Meanwhile, train services on the Dhaka-Chattogram route have returned to normal following the incident.
