Muneer Farooqui, chief executive officer of the company, gave away the Warid Recognition Award at the company's head office in the city.

On August 2, Rakibul noticed a track displacement while cutting grass beside the railway line. Immediately he ran to the nearest level crossing to inform the signalman and returned to the spot to stand on vigil.

As Noakhali-bound Upakul Express approached to the displaced track, he took off his red T-shirt and waved it, signaling the train to stop. The driver stopped the train on Rakibul's red signal, much to the relief of the passengers.

Rakibul, son of Ali Newaz Moishaje of Khanpur village, is a student of class ten at Chanpur Janata High School in Comilla Sadar South Upazila.

CEO Muneer Farooqui presented him with scholarship worth Tk 50,000 for his education up to higher secondary and all books necessary for his secondary education. Rakibul also received a gift hamper, including a Sony Ericsson W200i handset with Warid connection.
