Train services between Chittagong and other parts of the country resumed partially after an eight-hour disruption caused by a collision between a train and a truck at Fouzdarhat in Sitakunda on Thursday.
Chittagong-bound Nasirabad Express collided with a truck when the vehicle was passing an unauthorised level crossing around 4:30am.
The engine of the train and a bogie veered off the tracks following the collision, reports our Chittagong correspondent.
The train services resumed partially around 12:30pm after two relief trains from Chittagong and Laksam stations rushed to the spot and rescued the compartments, said Mizanur Rahman, public relation officer of Bangladesh Railway East Zone
The trains are now running on a single track while work on the two other damaged tracks was going on.
A four-member investigation committee led by Divisional Signal and Telecommunication Engineer Shushil Kumar Halder has been formed to probe the incident and asked to submit a report in seven days to railway authority.
The trucker, who was injured during the collision, was rushed to Chittagong Medical College Hospital.
