, May 4 -- four hours after a commuter train collided with an oil-carrying train at the Joydebpur Railway junction in Gazipur on Friday, the salvage operation has yet to make significant progress.

The collision, which occurred near Kazi Bari around 11 am on Friday, disrupted train communication between Dhaka and the northern-eastern region for two hours.

Despite the ongoing efforts, the rescue teams have struggled to clear the two oil-laden wagons and two commuter train bogies. As of 10 am on Saturday, the operation is still underway while train services on the Dhaka-Joydebpur route continue to operate through an alternate line.
