Thousands of villagers barricaded railway lines at Pagachang Railway Station yesterday demanding a stop of Titas commuter train at the station. As a result, Dhaka bound Titas commuter train could not start in time. Bhairab bound Balla local train was also halted at Akhaura railway junction. Sylhet bound Parabat Express was delayed at Brahmanbaria and consequently, railway communication through Dhaka Sylhet, DhakaChittagong and DhakaNoakhali snapped for about five hours.
