Kushtia: Khulna’s rail communications with other parts of country was restored on Saturday after a 20-hour disruption caused by a derailment.

The rail communications resumed around 3:00pm, said Shariful Islam, station master of Poradaha Railway Station.

A four-member committee was formed to investigate the cause of the derailment which was asked to submit the report within three days, he said.

A compartment of Rajshahi-bound Sagordari Express, including engine, had derailed near to Poradah Rail Station at about 8:00 pm on Friday.

Later the rail communication was restored partially through a down line at about 7:30am after a relief train from Ishwardi put the compartment back on the track in 11-hour frantic efforts.
