News India Live, Digital Desk: We all remain excited about India’s new and hi-tech Vande Bharat trains. These trains with spectacular looks and high speed have changed the face of Indian Railways. But along with this, a bitter truth has also come to light which has given sleepless nights to the administration, that is the pelting of stones on Vande Bharat trains.
Often you must have heard that some anti-social element somewhere threw a stone on the train, due to which the glass broke and government property worth crores was damaged. But now the government and Railway Protection Force (RPF) have made it clear that such actions will not be tolerated.
Railways in action: 665 people behind bars in 6 months
Talking about the latest figures, in the last 6 months only about 665 people arrested Has been done This figure is enough to show that now the Railways is in no mood to sit silent. Police are not only taking the help of CCTV, but surveillance through drones has also been increased around the tracks.
Why does this happen?
The surprising thing is that many times those who throw stones are ignorant or mischievous elements, who do not even know that their little ‘fun’ is causing huge damage to the country’s property and can itself become the reason for jail for them. But the administration is now giving a clear message that the excuse of ‘ignorance’ will no longer work. If you harm the pride of the country, i.e. Vande Bharat, then you will have to suffer heavy damages for it.
Not only arrest, but also fine
Railway officials say that the aim is not only to send them to jail, but heavy fines are also being imposed on the culprits. RPF is also continuously trying to create awareness among the people in the villages and localities along the track, so that they themselves stop such incidents and alert their children about it.
Vande Bharat Express is not just a train but a major achievement of modern India. Breaking its windows or attacking it cannot be called right in any sense. If we want to take advantage of the speed and convenience of the train, then keeping it safe is an equally big responsibility for all of us.
So next time, if someone thinks of making such a mistake, remember that the administration is keeping an eye on you and the consequences could be jail.
