Fulbari rail crossing. COURTESY
The railway crossing area of Fulbari upazila of Dinajpur district is at risk. Over bridges are essential for public transportation. About 800 feet north of Fulbari railway station in Dinajpur, there is only one railway crossing at Fulbari railway station. Vehicles departing from Rangpur every day and leaving from different districts use this train only through Fulbari Rail crossing Railroad. Every day hundreds of trucks carrying stones from Madhyapara cross this rail crossing and travel to different parts of the country. Earlier, two train accidents took place at this rail crossing. Pointsman was killed on the spot. As soon as the current train arrives, two safety poles are lowered at the railway crossing. Hundreds of vehicles were deposited on the west-east side. Traffic jams are caused due to accumulation of vehicles. After a long time, vehicles started moving slowly from both sides.
But on both sides of the railway crossing, the railway has occupied the land and built shops and buildings. There are no vacancies on the two sites of the railway. They are given a one-time lease from the railway station department. They built this building on lease. As a result, the vehicles are struggling to cross. There is a responsible gateman here, if you do not do the right thing in time, a big accident can happen here. The rail crossing railway crossing at Fulbari of the present railway is unsafe. If an overbridge is built here to the north or south, the people of the city will be able to travel freely. Students of school college madrasa from east and west pass through this rail crossing and go to school-college to study. Although the higher authorities of the railways are aware of the rail crossing, no effective action is being taken. As a result, accidents are increasing.
