UNB, Sylhet :
Rail communication between Sylhet and other parts of the country resumed Sunday afternoon after nearly 24 hours as floodwater started to recede in some areas.
Sardar Shahadat Ali, additional Director General (Operation) of Bangladesh Railway, said the railway authorities resumed the train services Sunday afternoon.
The rail link with Sylhet was suspended Saturday afternoon due to the worsening flood situation.
Sylhet railway authorities made the announcement of suspending train services around 12:55 pm.
“As floodwater entered the railway station rail communication has been suspended,” said Nurul Islam, manager of Sylhet Railway Station.
Flood situation in Sylhet started turning into a terrible disaster from Thursday afternoon as almost all the upazilas and municipal area went under water.
