On Sunday, three people were killed, including a 7-year-old, and at least 20 others injured when the train hit a ‘Ananda Poribahan’ stuck at the level-crossing on Nawab Sirajuddaula Road near Narayanganj railway station.
The injured were first taken to Narayanganj General Hospital. Of them, three were sent to DMCH and six to National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) in critical condition for advanced treatment.
Meanwhile, Humayun, a shopkeeper in the area, said the rail gate could not be pulled down due to makeshift shops that have sprung up alongside the level crossing.
