Bangladesh Chittagong

Bangladesh Railway has temporarily suspended four persons including three of its staffers over Sunday's Sonar Bangla Express train collision.

The four are guard Abdul Quader (Chattogram Division), Hasanpur station maintainer signal Wahid, loco master Md Jashim Uddin (Dhaka Headquarters) and assistant loco master Md Mohsin (Dhaka Headquarters).

At least 50 people were injured after a Dhaka-bound Sonar Bangla Express train hit a freight train at Nangalkot of Cumilla around 6:45pm on Sunday causing seven carriages and the locomotive to derail.

Later at night, a four-member probe body has been formed. The committee has been investigating the incident.
