Sylhet's rail communication with other parts of the country remained suspended since Sunday noon after the derailment of three containers of an oil-laden tanker at Shahjibazar Rail Station in Sayestaganj upazila of Habiganj.

Mushfique Hossain, assistant station master of Sayestaganj Junction, said three containers of Sylhet-bound oil tanker from Akhaura in Brahmanbaria veered off the track near Shahjibazar Rail Station, halting train movement of Sylhet with other parts of the country.

Two passenger trains and a freight train got stranded in different rail stations, UNB reported citing the station master.

A relief train from Akhaura left for Habiganj to remove the derailed containers.
