Rail communication with northern part of the country disrupted by Gazipur derailment

A bogie of the Padma Express, traveling from Rajshahi to Dhaka, derailed in Salna, Gazipur, halting train services between Dhaka and northern Bangladesh. 

The derailment occurred around 8:45 pm on Friday, as confirmed by Hanif Ali, the station master at Joydebpur Railway Junction. 

The last bogies of the Padma Express came off the tracks on the Dhaka-Rajshahi route. 

The train proceeded towards Dhaka after separating the derailed bogies on-site, but the disruption has caused a suspension of train services between Dhaka and the northern regions.
