Vande Bharat Express | Vande Bharat: Those who pelt stones will be jailed for 5 years. Gondia Today (New India)
Gondia, Railway is preparing to take strict action against stone pelting on Vande Bharat Express. Railways has now made a strategy for this. Regarding this, special responsibility has now been assigned to the Railway Protection Force (RPF). Those who pelt stones will not be spared now. This step has been taken in view of the safety of passengers in Vande Bharat Express. Now a case will be registered against the stone pelters under section 153 of the Railway Act 1989. There can be a jail term of five years.
Stone pelting at some places on the Vande Bharat Express running between Nagpur and Bilaspur has surprised the railway administration. Now the RPF has made preparations to send those who pelted stones on Vande Bharat to jail for 5 years. A case will be registered against such people under Section 153 of the Railway Act and the CCTV recording installed on the coach of Vande Bharat Express will be made a solid proof.
It is noteworthy that on 11 December 2022, Prime Minister Modi himself flagged off the Vande Bharat Express from Nagpur station. After this, the administration has taken seriously the 6 incidents of stone pelting at different places on the train in one and a half months. Railways claim that adequate arrangements have been made for passenger safety in the train. This is the reason why not a single passenger has been harmed in these incidents so far. There should be no incident of stone pelting in future, so the Railways will now take strict action.
