Rail links with Khulna resume 2 hours after oil-carrying train derails

Train communications between Khulna and other parts of the country resumed almost two hours after the derailed compartment of an oil-carrying train in Jashore was recovered Thursday night.

Around 6:35pm, a compartment of a Khulna-bound train derailed near Jashore Railway Station, Station Master Ainal Hossain told UNB.

The oil-bearing train arrived from Parbatipur with 36 compartments. The No. 31 compartment derailed as the train crossed Jashore town’s Railgate area, the station master said.

The compartment could be retrieved almost two hours later, and train operation on the route resumed around 8:20pm, Aynal added.
