, Dec. 8 -- A section of railway track near the outer signal of Madhnagar Railway Station in Naldanga upazila of Natore district broke down on Monday morning due to intensified cold weather, authorities said.

Station Master Abdul Awal said local residents noticed a fracture on Line No. 1 in the Mashhata area near the outer signal and immediately informed the station authorities.

After inspecting the site, railway officials used red flags to slow down trains and allow them to pass at a controlled speed.

Later, a team of railway workers from Santahar repaired the damaged track and train operations returned to normal around 12pm.

Station Master Abdul Awal said the track might have cracked due to the rise in temperatures.
