On Thursday, the recently launched Gandhinagar-Mumbai Vande Bharat Express struck several livestock on the track close to the Vatva train station in Gujarat, causing damage to the engine.
A railway official reported that the tragedy claimed the lives of four buffalo and that it happened about 11.15 a.m.
The path near Vatva had a curve that led to a blind spot region. About 100 kmph was the average speed of the train. The official reported that the fiber-based front section of the train had been harmed.
No functioning component was harmed in the event, according to a representative for the railways. “The train departed shortly after the carcasses were removed and arrived at Gandhinagar on schedule. The incident happened between the stations of Gairatpur and Vatva. According to the spokeswoman, the railways are attempting to advise the local residents not to leave their animals close to the track.
The Gandhinagar-Mumbai Vande Bharat Express was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Gandhinagar Station on September 30. He then boarded the train and travelled to Kalupur Railway Station in Ahmedabad.
Numerous exceptional and aircraft-like travel experiences are available on the Vande Bharat Express. The first Vande Bharat Train to be outfitted with the “KAVACH” method, this locally made train runs between Gandhinagar and Mumbai.
