Rail communication on the Pabna-Ishwardi route was suspended on Monday morning as two bogies of the Rajshahi-bound Dhalarchar Express train derailed in the Ranigram area of Pabna.
According to train operator Hafizul Islam, the incident happened at approximately 7:20am when the wheels of the train's two bogies swerved off the track between the Kashinath and Badherhat stations in Ranigram.
He said the lack of sufficient clips on the railway line caused the derailment, and it is the lone train that operates on the route.
Engineer Birbal Mandal of Pakshi Western Engineering Divisional-2 said a rescue train from a nearby locomotive diesel factory was on the way to the spot and it will take time to remove.
A four-member committee led by Pakshi Railway Office Assistant Transport Officer Harun-or-Rashid was formed to investigate the incident and it was asked to submit a report within three working days.
