A five-member probe committee has been formed to unearth the reason behind the train-bus collision that claimed five lives at Gazipur’s Sreepur upazila on Sunday.
The committee has been asked to submit the report within three working days.
The members of the committee are Railway Assistant Transport Officer Aminul Haque, Assistant Mechanical Engineer Alauddin, Assistant Surgeon Dr Shakib Shahriar, Narayan Prasad Sarkar, assistant engineer of Mymensingh Railway Division and Ariful Islam, deputy inspector of Mymensingh Railway Security Force.
They visited the spot on around 12:30pm on Monday. They have given instructions to move the bus from the railway line.
However, the locals have expressed their anger as the bus was not removed from the side of the railway line.
Belayet Hossain, a resident of the local Maijpara area, said the bus has not been moved yet even after two days of the accident. Trains and people are traveling around the area at risk.
ATM Nazmul Haque Mridha, senior deputy assistant engineer of Mymensingh Railway, said those who were in charge of the gateman have been absconding since the accident. Local railway workers are manning the gate after the accident.
Dhaka Railway Assistant Transport Officer Aminul Haque said the five-member committee will submit its report within the next three working days.
On Sunday, five people were killed and at least 20 injured in an accident after a train rammed into a bus on a level crossing in Maijpara area at 7:30am.
