However, none was reportedly injured in that accident.

Confirming the matter, Godagari Model Thana Officer-in-Charge (OC) Farhad Hossain said that the 564 local-train which was going to Ishwardi from Chapainawabganj via Rajshahi met with the accident following the removal of fishplates from railway tracks.
