Harun-or-Rashid, station master of Sreepur Railway Station, said the crane was brought to Sreepur for carrying out repairs of the railway track in the morning.

“However, around 9am, the crane overturned on the railway track, halting train movement on the route,” he said. 

“Mymensingh-bound ‘Teesta Express’ and a Dhaka-bound commuter train are currently stranded at Sreepur railway station and Kawraide point, respectively,” he said.

“Efforts are on to remove the crane from the railway track soon,” he added.
