Dhaka’s train communication with the northern part of the country was disrupted after the engine of a local train broke down near Jhaoil overbridge in Kamarkhanda upazila of Sirajganj district on Thursday.

Shahabuddin Ahmed, the loco master, said, “The number 551 local train going to Dhaka from Rajshahi stopped near the over-bridge at around 8:20am when its engine broke down due a leak in the water tank,” reports UNB.

 “An engine from Banalata Express arrived from Rajshahi and is pulling the stranded local train towards Bangabandhu Bridge west railway station,” he added.
