A temporary suspension of rail services has been imposed on the Mymensingh–Jamalpur route after a carriage of the Dhaka-bound intercity Brahmaputra Express derailed in Mymensingh on Wednesday morning.
The incident occurred at approximately 8:55 am on 10 June in the College Road area of Mymensingh city. As a result of the derailment, train operations between Mymensingh and Jamalpur were completely suspended while railway authorities initiated recovery efforts.
The disruption was confirmed by Abdullah Al Harun, Superintendent of Mymensingh Railway Junction.
