Rail communication to and from Sylhet with the rest of the country, which was suspended after an engine failure on a train coming into the station near Shayestaganj Rail Junction in Habiganj district, was restored Sunday morning.
Uttam Kumar Deb, assistant station master of Shayestaganj Rail Junction, said the Sylhet-bound ‘Parabat Express’ train got stranded at a rail bridge over the Khoai River near the Shayestaganj Rail Junction around 11am as the engine of the train went out of order, halting train movement.
Later, a relief train rushed to the spot and train movement was restored around 2pm following the recovery of the train, he said.
