NGO worker crushed under train in capital

A 34-year-old man was crushed under a train in capital's Khilkhet area on Tuesday morning. The deceased was identified as Noor-E-Alam Taimur, an employee of Save the Children, Bangladesh.

Confirming the matter, Airport Railway Police Output In-charge Sunil Chandra Sutradhar said, "Two trains were passing Khilkhet level crossing at the same time. Taimur was crossing the rail track keeping eyes on the Kamalapur-bound train. As he did not follow the other one, the airport-bound train knocked him down around 10.00 am, leaving him dead on the spot."

The body has been sent to the morgue after due procedure.

Members of Save the Children Bangladesh expressed profound shock and sorrow at the untimely demise of Taimur. In a Facebook post, Save the Children Bangladesh prayed for the eternal peace of the departed soul.
