Train movement on the Chattogram–Cox’s Bazar route has been suspended after a section of the railway line went underwater due to continuous bad weather, heavy rainfall, and hill torrents. Hundreds of passengers have been stranded at Chattogram station since early Wednesday, July 8, 2026, according to a notice from Bangladesh Railway’s Public Relations Director Anisur Rahman.
The notice stated that the tracks between Janalihat and Soloshohor stations are submerged under about two feet of water, prompting authorities to halt train operations for safety reasons. The Tourist Express from Dhaka, which reached Chattogram on Tuesday, could not continue to Cox’s Bazar and was sent back to Dhaka. Similarly, the Cox’s Bazar Express from Dhaka has been waiting at Chattogram station since early morning.
Bangladesh Railway said passengers wishing to cancel their trips can receive refunds at the Chattogram station counter, while those returning to Dhaka can travel back on the same train at 4 p.m. The railway authority expressed regret for the inconvenience caused by the sudden natural disaster.
