Train communication between Khulna and the cities of Dhaka, Rajshahi, and Chilahati returned to normal around 3 p.m. on Sunday after being suspended for nine hours. The disruption began at about 6 a.m. when a Parbatipur-bound freight train from Khulna derailed near Sabdarpur station in Kotchandpur upazila of Jhenaidah district. Three wagons of the train went off the tracks, halting all train movement on the route and leaving seven passenger trains stranded at both ends.
According to Sabdarpur station master Golam Rasul, two rescue trains from Khulna and Ishwardi reached the site around 10:30 a.m. The derailed wagons were removed after several hours of work, and repairs to the damaged rail line were completed by the afternoon. Once the line was cleared and restored, train operations between Khulna and other major destinations resumed normally.
The incident caused significant delays in regional rail services, but normal schedules were restored after the completion of the recovery and repair operations.
