Compartment of train derails


A compartment of Dhaka-bound Mahanagar Pravati derailed at Kadamtali yesterday morning while it was being taken to Railway yard for a wash.

The train was scheduled to depart Chittagong Station for Dhaka at 7:15am but the derailment, which occurred at 5:00am, delayed the journey for two and a half hours, much to the sufferings of the passengers.

A relief train of the Railway rescued the compartment at around 9:00am. The train left for Dhaka at 9:40am, said the sources.
