Two more days needed to remove other bogies


Four of the nine bogies of the derailed Bijoy Express train were removed from Nangalkot of Comilla on Tuesday morning.

Saiful Islam, divisional manager of Chittagong Eastern Railway, said so far, four bogies have been removed and it will take two more days to remove five other bogies and repair the damaged rail tracks.

Due to rescue and repair work, the movement of trains on the down line remains suspended for several hours disrupting the regular schedule of the train movement, he said.

Several people were injured as nine bogies of Jamalpur-bound Bijoy Express train from Chittagong veered off the tracks at Tejer Bazar in Nangalkot, Comilla, Sunday.

Train operation on the down line resumed 14 hours after the derailment early Monday.
