Rail communication between Chattogram and Cox’s Bazar resumed on Sunday after being suspended for five days due to flooding caused by heavy rainfall. The intercity Parjotok Express, which departed from Dhaka, left Chattogram station at 11:40 a.m. for Cox’s Bazar, marking the first train to operate on the route after the disruption. Railway authorities confirmed that other scheduled trains from Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, and Dhaka will gradually resume passenger services on the same route.
According to railway sources, continuous rain had submerged about 500 meters of track near Shamsherpara, east of Jan Ali Hat station, on the Sholoshahar-Dohazari section. Water levels rose up to 21 inches above the track, exceeding the safe limit for locomotive traction motors, which can operate in up to 4–5 inches of water. As a result, train operations were halted last Tuesday.
Railway officials stated that emergency engineering measures and receding water levels made the track safe again. The line was raised about 10 inches above the water level through lifting work, and after inspections, train operations resumed on Sunday.
