Vande Bharat Express Train Pelted With Stones Again in Visakhapatnam, Third Incident in Past Three Months

 The Vande Bharat Express, India's fastest train, has been pelted with stones yet again in Visakhapatnam. This marks the third such incident in the past three months, raising serious concerns about the safety of passengers and the security of the train.

The Vande Bharat Express was en route to Delhi from Visakhapatnam when unidentified miscreants pelted the train with stones near the Simhachalam railway station. The incident caused damage to the train's windowpanes and resulted in a delay of over an hour.

This is not the first time that the Vande Bharat Express has been targeted by stone-pelters. In December 2022, the train was similarly attacked near the same railway station, and in January 2023, it was targeted near the Gudur railway station in Andhra Pradesh.

The Indian Railways has taken several steps to improve the security of the train, including deploying additional security personnel and installing CCTV cameras on board. However, these measures have proven to be insufficient in preventing such incidents.

The repeated incidents of stone-pelting on the Vande Bharat Express raise serious concerns about the safety of passengers and the security of the train. It is essential that the authorities take immediate and effective action to ensure the safety and security of passengers and prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.

The Vande Bharat Express is a symbol of India's progress and technological advancement, and it is a matter of pride for the country. It is crucial that the authorities take strong measures to protect this national asset and ensure that it operates safely and securely for the benefit of passengers and the country as a whole.
