Collision disrupts Dhaka-Ctg rail link
The rail communications of Chittagong with Dhaka remained cut off following a collision between a Demu train and a truck at Panusua in Comilla sadar upazila.
Comilla railway station master Shafiqur Rahman said the accident took place when a sand-laden truck hit the Comilla-bound Demu train at an unauthorised level-crossing around 9:30am on Saturday.
Following the collision, the wheels of the train veered off the rail track, said the station master.
A Dhaka-bound train, ‘Subarna Express’, got stranded at Comilla rail station following the derailment, reports UNB.
A relief train from Akhaura was on its way to the spot to salvage the Demu train, he added.
