RAJSHAHI, Feb 15, 2022 (BSS)- Bonolota Rajshahi-Dhaka express train with
around 850 passengers had a narrow escape from an accident as its driver
managed to stop after seeing a danger (red) signal at Ramchandrapur area
under Charghat upazila of the district this morning.

  Two local people, Ziaur Rahman and Hablu Mian, found a broken part of the
railway track before the arrival of the train around 7.30 am when they were
going to work in the farming field. They promptly raised a red signal through
using their red wrappers at the danger point.

  Seeing the red signal the loco master of the running train managed to halt
the train around 500-meter away from the point.

  Asim Kumar Talukder, general manager of West Zone Railway, told BSS that
the express train escaped from an accident narrowly by dint of intelligence
of the two local people.

  "We have completed the repairing works of the broken track around 09.21 am
and the scheduled trains from both the sides started playing subsequently,"
he added.
