Train service restored after 9 hours

The rail communication of Jamalpur with other parts of the country was restored after nine hours of suspension following derailment of a train at Nandina Rail Station in the district early yesterday. Earlier, the engine and a bogie of a Mymensingh-bound local train from Dewanganj veered off the tracks around 6:00pm on Friday, halting the train communication with other parts of the country, said Jaharul Islam, stationmaster of Jamalpur Railway Station. Five trains, including two intercity ones, remained stranded during suspension of the rail communication. However, the train communication was restored around 3:00am.
