Members of the Ansar chased away miscreants while they were removing the ring spikes (clips) on the Dhaka-Chattogram railway line in the Fazilpur Railway Station area of Feni on Monday.
The miscreants fled, leaving 12 clips open. The incident happened on Monday afternoon.
Feni District Ansar Commander Jane-e-Alam Sufian confirmed the matter. Upon receiving the news, he visited the scene and instructed the deployed members to remain vigilant.
Earlier on Saturday, 130 members were deployed along the 28-kilometre railway line in Feni to prevent any sabotage attempts by miscreants over the following two days.
Feni Fazilpur Railway Station Master Mehedi Hasan said upon receiving the news, maintenance work was promptly carried out, ensuring no disruptions to the schedule of train operations. However, the matter has been reported to the higher authorities for further action.
According to the district administration, along with the Ansar members, police patrolling has been strengthened in the area adjacent to the railway line in Feni. In addition, several teams of railway police are guarding the 28 kilometres of railway tracks and railway stations in Feni.
Incidents of sabotage on railway tracks and torching of trains have occurred in different parts of the country during BNP and like-minded parties' hartal-blockade programme since October 29, demanding the resignation of the government and election under a non-partisan government.
