8th grader Ankur invents automated system of averting train accident

Ishwardi (Pabna) Correspondent :

Schoolboy Rayyan Azad Ankur has invented an automated system to prevent train accidents after five months of ingenuity. Ankur is an eighth grader of Bhasha Shaheed Bidya Niketan in Salimpur Union of Ishwardi Upazila. He is the son of Hasibul Azad of Shershah Road area of Ishwardi town.
It is known that Ankur’s invented method will automatically send a message to the driver in the event of a fire in the train and will automatically sprinkle water to extinguish the fire. Also, in this system, if the railway connection is disconnected at any place or if the rail line bends, the signal can be automatically sent to the station master and the train driver. As a result, Ryan thinks it is possible to prevent accidents by getting signals before the incident. It cost Ryan only three thousand taka to invent this method. According to Ryan Azad Ankur, five people died in the incident of fire in the Benapole Express train at Gopibagh in the capital. This incident caused quite a stir at that time. Ankur’s mind is also scarred by the terrible incident. Since then, he has been thinking about how to prevent train accidents. Finally, after only five months of effort, he developed the method.
