Recovery work for the derailed coaches of the NilSagar Express in Santahar, Bogura, was completed on Thursday morning. The derailment occurred near Bagbari in Adamdighi upazila, about two kilometers north of Santahar, on Wednesday afternoon. Following the incident, the assistant station master of Santahar was temporarily suspended, and a four-member investigation committee was formed. Station officials said partial train operations could resume by noon, while full service on the Ishwardi-Parbatipur route might take another four to five hours.
According to local accounts, the train driver allegedly failed to heed signals and was driving at high speed, leading to the derailment. Panic among passengers caused some to jump from the train roof, resulting in injuries. Fire service units and local residents jointly carried out rescue operations, sending 50 to 60 injured passengers to nearby hospitals. Four fire service units participated in the rescue, and a relief train from Ishwardi Junction was dispatched to lift the nine derailed passenger coaches.
Train movement in the northern region was halted for several hours but was expected to gradually return to normal later in the day.
