However, Md Abul Hossain, railway second-grade mechanic working at the accident site, said the train was derailed due to the broken equaliser beam.
He explained that there is a hanger positioned between the two wheels, with two equaliser beams flanking it on either side. "These equalisers play a crucial role in stabilizing the beam. The derailment occurred as a result of the breakage of this vital component," he said.
No casualties have been reported in the accident.
