Railway authorities have started recovering nine coaches of the Nilshagar Express that derailed in Adamdighi, Bogura, on Wednesday afternoon. A rescue train from Ishwardi, Pabna, arrived at the site around 6:45 p.m. and began operations, confirmed Santahar Railway Station Master Khadija Khatun. Another rescue train from Parbatipur, Dinajpur, is also on its way to assist in restoring rail communication as quickly as possible.

The derailment occurred around 2:15 p.m., injuring many passengers, including those who were on the train’s roof and jumped off during the accident. The incident disrupted rail communication between Dhaka and five northern districts—Nilphamari, Dinajpur, Thakurgaon, Panchagarh, and Joypurhat—as well as between Dinajpur and other northern regions. However, train movement on the Dhaka–Rangpur–Lalmonirhat line remains normal.

Local sources said rail track repair work was underway at the site, and a red flag had been placed, but the driver reportedly failed to notice it. No fatalities have been reported so far, and 47 injured passengers were taken to Naogaon General Hospital for treatment.
