Several people including children were injured in an attack on a train when the students of Government Titumir College in Mohakhali blocked rails tracks at Mohakhali in the capital on Monday demanding their college to be transformed into a university.

Joynul Abedin, Officer-in-Charge of Dhaka Railway Police Station, said four Dhaka-bound trains and another train that was set to leave Dhaka remained stranded since the students put up barricades on the rail tracks in the morning.

He said Kamalapur-bound Parabat Express train came under attack in Mohakhali around 11:30am, leaving some people including children injured. He, however, could provide the exact number of the injured.

The students also attacked the Dhaka-bound Upakul Express train coming from Noakhali, leaving some window glasses of the train damaged, he said.
