At least 15 passengers were injured as a bogie of an intercity train comes off at Bhairab Railway Station in Kishoreganj district on Friday morning, reports UNB.
According to Station Master Md Nur Nabi, the bogie of the Kishoreganj-bound intercity Egarosindhur Train from Dhaka came off the tracks at Bhairab station while the engine of the train was being changed at 9:30am.
At least 15 passengers were injured as the window glasses and floors of three bogies broke down following the derailment, Egarosindhur Train attendant Sohel said.
The scale of the damage means it will be some time before passengers get things back up and running as normal.
"We will try to complete the repair works as quickly as possible to get the train back on track as a salvage train arrives from Akhaura," the station master said.
