Tunisia –The Tunisian National Railway Company announced that a number of its facilities had been exposed to repeated theft of copper wires and acts of sabotage targeting intersection barrier equipment, which caused a number of safety systems to malfunction and forced it to take precautionary measures to protect travelers and road users.
The company explained, in a statement, that the attacks were recorded during the past three months, and included several intersections in the states of Ben Arous and Bir al-Qasaa, including the intersection of Al-Shifa Mosque, the Grain Diwan, the wholesale market, and the pipes near the Civil Protection Center, in addition to the two intersections of the Naasan station.
It confirmed that it took the initiative to write legal reports and submit complaints to the security and judicial authorities, and also assigned its technical teams to intervene to repair the damage, in parallel with launching requests for offers to rehabilitate the damaged equipment.
The company decided, temporarily, to reduce the speed of trains when passing through these intersections until repairs are completed, calling on road users to be careful, respect safety signals, and ensure that the track is clear before crossing.
These attacks highlight the challenges facing the protection of transportation infrastructure in Tunisia, as the repercussions of the theft of copper wires are not limited to material losses, but extend to affecting the safety of train movement and disrupting transportation services, which requires strengthening protection and control measures for vital installations.
