Trains were able to leave Dhaka after a five-hour standstill due to derailment of two wagons of a goods train in the city, but those entering the capital still remain stranded on the outskirts.
The wagons carrying oil jumped the tracks near FDC level crossing at Karwanbazar around 5:15pm on Sunday, Kamlapur Railway Police sub-inspector Moktar Hossain told .
"Oil is leaking through one of the tankers that got ruptured," he said.
No causalities were reported, he added.
Local people gathered near the ruptured tanker to collect oil.
An official from railway's control room said it would take three-four hours for train communication to get normal.
