Bangladesh Railway has issued 14 detailed safety directives to ensure safe train operations during the foggy winter season. The directives, signed by Deputy Chief Operating Superintendent (West) Arfin Nahar, were sent to the divisional railway managers of Pakshi and Lalmonirhat. The instructions emphasize heightened vigilance among station masters, locomotive drivers, guards, and control room staff to prevent accidents caused by poor visibility. Key measures include issuing caution orders (OPT-80), using fog signals, verifying line clearance strictly through authorized personnel, and maintaining constant communication between stations. The directives also require recording contact numbers of train crews, ensuring level crossing gates are closed during train passage, and keeping adequate fog signal supplies at stations. Officials and inspectors have been instructed to conduct frequent night signal inspections and open emergency control cells if fog persists for extended periods. The railway authority stressed that failure to follow these guidelines could lead to severe accidents and damage to life and property.
