A worker named Enamul Haque saved hundreds of passengers by stopping a train using a banana blossom petal in Dinajpur’s Fulbari area on Monday morning. The incident occurred around 6:30 a.m. between the 352/5 and 352/6 kilometer points of the Fulbari-Birampur railway line near Purba Chandipur. Enamul noticed a one-foot break in the rail track and, lacking a red cloth, tied a red banana blossom petal to a stick and signaled an approaching intercity train from Dhaka to Panchagarh, which stopped in time.
Local residents alerted railway officials, and within half an hour, an engineering team arrived to repair the damaged section and restore train movement. Fulbari Station Master Shawkat Ali confirmed that train operations were halted for over thirty minutes before returning to normal. Enamul left for Faridpur after the incident, according to his family.
The quick action drew praise, especially in light of a recent derailment on the same route that disrupted service for 18 hours. Railway authorities credited Enamul’s presence of mind for preventing a potential disaster.
