Nine coaches of the Nilshagar Express derailed in Santahar, Bogura, on Wednesday afternoon while traveling from Dhaka to Nilphamari’s Chilahati. Bangladesh Railway said it may take around 12 hours to complete the rescue operation. In the meantime, the railway authority has introduced a transshipment plan to help passengers from five northern districts reach their destinations.
According to Additional Director General (Operations) Mohammad Nazmul Islam, passengers from Nilphamari, Thakurgaon, Dinajpur, Panchagarh, and Joypurhat will need to change trains at the accident site until normal rail communication is restored. He acknowledged that the arrangement may cause inconvenience but said it is the only temporary solution available. A committee has been formed to investigate the cause of the derailment.
Fire Service officials reported that 47 people were rescued from the accident site and sent to Naogaon Sadar Hospital for treatment.
