Vande Bharat train pelted with stones between Lathi and Khijadiya in Amreli

According to a report by Sandesh, anti-social elements targeted the Sabarmati-Veraval-bound Vande Bharat Express train between Lathi and Khijadiya railway stations in Amreli district. When the train was passing through this area, unknown persons suddenly started stone-pelting.

During this attack, the front glass of the train broke with a loud noise due to being hit by a stone, causing a brief period of panic and commotion among passengers inside the train. However, fortunately, no passengers sustained physical injuries in this incident and a major tragedy was averted.

When this incident occurred, the train was running at full speed between the railway tracks of Lathi and Khijadiya in Amreli district. Due to the stones thrown by unknown individuals, the window and glass on the front part of the Vande Bharat Express cracked and broke. Due to the safety shield and double glass protection, the stones could not enter inside the coach.

After ensuring that all passengers were completely safe, the train was dispatched further toward its destination, Veraval. As soon as information about this incident was received, senior officials of Western Railways, the Railway Protection Force (RPF), Government Railway Police (GRP), and local police teams rushed to the spot immediately.

Combing operations were launched in the bushes around the track and in rural areas to trace the anti-social elements who carried out the stone-pelting. Railway security forces have launched an in-depth investigation into who the stone-pelters were and what their intention was. Patrolling has been stepped up on sensitive railway tracks to prevent such anti-social activities in the future.
