4 hurt as shed over Dhaka Airport Railway Station platform collapses

At least four people were injured as a plastic-made shed over a platform of Dhaka Airport Railway Station collapsed this evening.

A portion of the shed collapsed when Eid holidaymakers climbed onto it to board on the roof of Dinajpur-bound Parbartipur Special Train around 8:00pm, said Yaseen Farooque, officer-in-charge of Dhaka Railway Police Station.

A unit of firefighters from Kurmitola Fire Service and Civil Defence rushed to the spot, fire service sources said.
