Incidentally, the water of Muhuri River is flowing 130 cm above the boundary line due to heavy rains and water upstream of India. Ten villages of Phulgazi and Parashuram upazilas of the district were inundated due to the breach of four flood control dams.

The incident took place on Wednesday (July 3) when the train reached Sonaimuri station in Noakhali around 10 pm.

Eyewitness passengers said that as soon as the train reached Sonaimuri station, a group of miscreants targeted the air-conditioned 'A' compartment and started pelting stones continuously. It broke two windows and scattered in the compartment. However, as there were no passengers near those windows, no one was injured.

Sudhir Chandra Roy, mechanical engineer of Akashto Express told Dhaka Post that such attacks happen several times every month in Sonaimuri, Bajra and surrounding areas. We have reported the matter to higher authorities.

Meanwhile, there has been a storm of criticism on social media regarding the attack on the Coastal Express. Netizens believe that the bus owners are conspiring with the only train in the ancient district. They claim that this incident is done to reduce the number of passengers in the train by creating panic with the connivance of the bus owners.

Master of Noakhali Station. Asaduzzaman confirmed the attack to Dhaka Post.

He said that it was not confirmed who carried out the attack for what purpose. For now, two windows have been covered with plastic. The train left for Dhaka as usual on Thursday at 6 am.
