Dhaka-Mymensingh train service, which was halted after the Agnibeena Express derailed on Sunday, has resumed after eleven and a half hours. The rail tracks at the accident site were mended and trains began to run on the route around 8:30 am on Monday, said Fatema Nagar Rail Station Master Alamgir Hossain. On Sunday, three train cars of the Dhaka-bound Agnibeena Express coming from Jamalpur derailed near the Fatema Nagar Station in Trishal around 8:45 pm. The train cars slid for about 400 metres after they were derailed, damaging the tracks heavily, the railway officers said.
