Khulna rail link restored after 2-hour disruption

Train communications between Khulna and other parts of the country resumed almost two hours after the derailed compartment of an oil-carrying train in Jessore was recovered Thursday night.

A compartment of a Khulna-bound train derailed near Jessore Railway Station around 6:35pm, Station Master Ainal Hossain told UNB.

The oil-bearing train arrived from Parbatipur with 36 compartments. The No 31 compartment derailed as the train crossed Jessore town's Railgate area, the station master said.

The compartment was restored almost two hours later, and train operation on the route resumed around 8:20pm, Aynal added.
