Rail communication between Khulna and northern Bangladesh resumed on Wednesday morning, May 20, 2026, after being suspended for about five hours due to a freight train derailment in Jhenaidah. The incident occurred around 3 a.m. near Sabdalpur Station in Kotchandpur when a wagon of a freight train traveling from Mongla to Ishwardi derailed. Train services between Khulna and Rajshahi, as well as other northern regions, were halted following the accident.
According to Kotchandpur Station Master Nayon Ali, a rescue train from Khulna reached the site at 7 a.m. and completed recovery operations. Rail traffic was restored by 8 a.m., bringing services back to normal. The report did not mention any casualties or damage beyond the derailment itself.
The quick restoration of service minimized disruption to freight and passenger movement between southern and northern Bangladesh, ensuring normal operations resumed within the same morning.
