Shawdesh Desk;

Train communication on Pabna-Ishwardi route has remained suspended since Monday morning as two compartments of Rajshahi-bound ‘Dhalarchar Express Train’ derailed in Ranigram area in Pabna district.

Train operator Hafizul Islam said that the derailment occurred around 7:20am when wheels of two compartments of the train veered off the tracks between Kashinath-Badherhat stations in Ranigram.

He said that lack of sufficient clips of the rail line caused the derailment and it was the lone train that operates on the route.

Engineer Birbal Mandal of Pakshi Western Engineering Divisional-2 said that a recuse train from nearby locomotive diesel factory was on the way to the spot and it would take time to remove.

A four member committee led by assistant transport officer of Pakshi Divisional Railway Harun-Or-Rashid was formed to investigate the incident and it was asked to submit a report within three working days.
