Bijoy Express train derailment at Gouripur Railway Junction and service resumption

The Jamalpur to Chattogram-bound Bijoy Express train derailed three coaches near the Gouripur station outer signal area in Mymensingh on Wednesday night, June 24, 2026, due to a signaling system failure. The incident caused an 18-hour disruption of rail communication. At least 6-8 passengers were injured while jumping from the moving train in panic; one child was in critical condition and transferred to Mymensingh Medical College Hospital. Services resumed on Thursday afternoon following successful salvage operations by a relief train, and two investigation committees have been formed to determine the cause.
