Train operations on the Dhaka–Mymensingh route returned to normal two hours after a mechanical failure halted services near Sripur in Gazipur on Saturday evening. The incident occurred around 4:30 p.m. when the engine of the Dhaka-bound Balaka Commuter train broke down near Satkhamaoir area, disrupting rail communication between Dhaka and Mymensingh until the engine was recovered at 6:40 p.m. According to Sripur Railway Station Master Md. Shamim, several trains experienced schedule disruptions during the outage, but departures gradually resumed after the faulty engine was removed. Witnesses reported that the train’s engine emitted a loud noise shortly after leaving Kawraid Station, followed by oil leakage that alarmed passengers, prompting many to disembark quickly. Railway and police officials arrived at the scene to assess the situation. Authorities have confirmed that normal operations have resumed, though minor delays persisted into the evening. The incident highlights ongoing maintenance challenges in Bangladesh’s rail network and the need for improved engine reliability and emergency response mechanisms.
