Train communication between Dhaka, northern districts resumes after 1 hour

Train operation between Dhaka and the country's northern districts resumed around 9am — one hour after Jamuna Express' engine went out of order at Joydebpur Station of Gazipur district on Saturday morning.

Karim, a station master of Joydebpur Station, confirmed the development, saying that train communication between Dhaka and northern districts was restored after the engine was removed.

Earlier, train service came to a halt as the engine of Dhaka-bound Jamuna Express from Jamalpur's Dewanganj went out of order around 8am, resulting in disruption on both sides of the rail tracks.
