Stationary commuter train set on fire in Tangail

Three compartments of a stationary commuter train were burnt as miscreants set fire to it at Gharinda Railway Station in Tangail. The incident took place around 2:53am on Thursday as the 48-hour blockade enforced by BNP is underway.

Gharinda Station Booking Master Selim Mia said that noting about the miscreants was known immediately.

According to sources at the station, there were CCTV cameras at the railway station, but it could not capture the incident as the burnt compartments were out of its frame.

Two compartments of the commuter train were completely burnt while another was damaged partially, he said.

Later, members of the Fire Services and Civil Defence reached to the spot and doused the fire under control.
