Train movement on the Nilphamari-Saidpur railway line returned to normal after being suspended for about five and a half hours on Sunday. The disruption began around 8:15 a.m. when the 'Khulna Mail' train derailed near Khayrat Nagar railway station in Nilphamari due to tree branches falling onto the track. A relief train from Parbatipur arrived and recovered the derailed train around 1:00 p.m.

According to Nilphamari railway station master Mithun Roy, the train departed for Khulna at around 1:30 p.m. after being re-railed. No damage was reported in the incident, though two front wheels of the engine had come off the track because of the fallen branches.

The restoration of service allowed normal train operations to resume on the Nilphamari-Saidpur route later in the afternoon.
