Rail operation between Khulna and the rest of the country resumed around 10 hours after derailment of a Khulna-bound freight train near Ansarbaria station in Jibannagar upazila of Chuadanga district early Wednesday .
Uthli railway station master Mintu Roy said the train services resumed around 11am after the derailed oil tankers were removed from the track.
He said the authorities cancelled the trips of Dhaka-bound three trains from Khulna and other districts due to schedule collapse, leaving passengers waiting at the stations in trouble.
Moreover, hundreds of train passengers remained stranded for around 10 hours, the station master said.
On other hand, a four member body led by Anowar Hossain, Pakshi divisional transport official of the Bangladesh Railway, was formed to probe the incident.
Earlier around 1am on Wednesday, eight empty oil tankers of the freight train derailed near Ansarbaria station, snapping rail communication.
The train carrying 32 empty tankers was heading to Khulna from Dhaka.
