The railway investigation team, formed to investigate the train accident at Ullapara in Sirajganj, has began its work with a visit to the accident site.
Five people, joining a BNP rally, were killed when the train, unable to stop on time, ran them over on Oct 11.
The team has also held talks with the station staff and witnesses.
Chief of the five-strong committee railway (west zone), chief engineer Mohammad Amzad Hossain, said they had sought three-day extension from the authorities for submission of the report, citing greater interest. The committee was earlier given four days.
Meanwhile, another investigation committee, under Sirajganj district administration, with four members, had also been formed to also look into the incident. District additional magistrate Dipak Ranjan Adhikari is heading the second committee, which has been given seven days to submit its report.
Dipak said on Thursday that investigations were underway. "We are visiting places and talking to people we need." He hoped to submit report on time.
