The Dhaka-bound Chattala Express train from Chattogram remained stranded at Feni railway station for about six hours on Tuesday due to an engine malfunction. The train arrived at the station at 7:50 a.m., and as of 1:00 p.m., it had not departed. Smoke was seen coming from small chambers of the engine, injuring railway worker ALM Mohammad Kawser’s face and respiratory tract.

Stationmaster Mohammad Harun said announcements were made urging passengers to remain patient. Many passengers scheduled to board from Feni transferred their tickets and left by other means. Despite the train being stuck at the platform, two adjacent lines remained operational, allowing other trains to pass normally. A relief train from Laksam arrived to assist, and officials expected the Chattala Express to resume its journey shortly.

Feni Civil Surgeon Mohammad Rubaiyat Bin Karim confirmed that the injured railway worker received initial treatment at Feni General Hospital before being sent to Chattogram Medical College Hospital for further care.
