Burimari Express breakdown and Kamalapur train schedule disruption due to track obstruction by hay

On the morning of May 24, 2026, the Burimari Express train suffered a mechanical breakdown at Kamalapur Railway Station after slipping on hay placed on the tracks for drying. This incident, occurring across the Dhaka railway network, caused significant delays for multiple trains, including the Kurigram Express, with delays extending up to two hours. Railway authorities addressed the obstruction by sending a maintenance crew and an additional engine, resolving the issue shortly thereafter.
