4,000 Ansar men to guard railway tracks

Some 4,000 Ansar members will guard risky points of the railway network in 40 districts across the country to ensure security of the rail tracks as a countrywide transport blockade enforced by the BNP-led 20-party alliance is underway, reports UNB.

The Home Ministry issued a notification in this regard Wednesday.

The ministry also wrote a letter to the Directorate General (DG) of the Ansar and VDP to take necessary steps in this regard, Senior Secretary of the Home Ministry Mozammel Haque told the news agency.
