The Vande Bharat Express traveling from Amb-Andaura to New Delhi was targeted by stone pelters in Una, Himachal Pradesh, as reported by officials on Sunday. Four coaches of the train sustained damage due to the attack when stones were thrown at the train near Basal village around 1:15 pm on Saturday. Fortunately, no passengers were hurt in the incident.
Railway police are currently assessing the extent of the damage and are actively working to apprehend those responsible for the attack.
This incident follows another stone-pelting attack on October 4, when the Vande Bharat Express traveling from Patna to Tatanagar was targeted in Jharkhand. The stones were thrown between Sarmataar and Yaduudhih stations, roughly 4 kilometers from Koderma, damaging windows in Coach C-2 and Coach C-5. Thankfully, no passengers were injured, but the safety and security of the railway network have come under scrutiny. Authorities are conducting investigations to identify the culprits and prevent similar incidents in the future.
Additionally, on October 2, stones were thrown at the Varanasi-Delhi Vande Bharat Express in Uttar Pradesh when it arrived at Kanpur station.
