Train services on Dhaka-Mymensingh route suspended

Train services on the Dhaka-Mymensingh route have been suspended since Thursday morning, as a crane overturned on the railway track in the Satkhamair area of Gazipur’s Sreepur upazila, UNB reports.

Harun-or-Rashid, station master of Sreepur Railway Station, said the crane was brought to Sreepur for carrying out repairs of the railway track in the morning.

“However, around 9:00am, the crane overturned on the railway track, halting train movement on the route,” he said.

“Mymensingh-bound ‘Teesta Express’ and a Dhaka-bound commuter train are currently stranded at Sreepur railway station and Kawraide point, respectively,” he said.

“Efforts are on to remove the crane from the railway track soon,” he added.
