Dhaka, Aug. 23 -- Dhaka-bound Jamuna Express train derailed near airport railway station on Saturday morning, halting train operation on the route towards the capital.

One bogy of the train veered off the tracks around 8:10 am, said railway officials.

Several trains scheduled to depart Kamalapur station between 9 am and 12 pm for different destinations in both eastern and western zones may not leave on time due to the derailment, he said.
