A disaster was averted on Sunday near Dhirashram, Gazipur, thanks to the vigilance of railway security personnel. They detected a 20-meter section of the Dhaka-Gazipur track bent and dislodged and quickly placed a red flag to warn approaching trains. The Dhaka-Chapainawabganj-bound Bonolota Express, carrying 1,200 passengers, stopped just 40 meters from the danger zone. Their swift actions ensured all passengers were saved. Another train had crossed the damaged track earlier. After repairs, the Bonolota Express resumed its journey.
