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 stone pelting on Vande Bharat trains. You must have often heard that some anti-social element somewhere threw a stone on the train, due to which glass was broken and government property worth crores was damaged. But now the government and the 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 alone, about 665 people have been arrested for throwing stones at Vande Bharat. This figure is enough to show that now the Railways is in no mood to sit silent. The police are not only taking the help of CCTV, but have also increased surveillance with drones around the tracks. Why does this happen? The surprising thing is that many times those who throw stones are foolish or mischievous elements, who do not even know that their small ‘fun’ is causing huge damage to the country’s property and can itself become a 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 pay 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 can prevent 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 it is an equally big responsibility of all of us to protect it. So next time, if someone thinks of making such a mistake, then remember that the administration is keeping an eye on us and the result can also be jail.
