The railways will have safety fencing at vulnerable locations for Vande Bharat trains to run at a speed between 110 kmph and 130 kmph and all along the tracks for a speed above 130 kmph, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw told the Lok Sabha on Wednesday. In a written response to a question from BJP MP Ghanshyam Singh Lodhi, the minister said, “Safety is accorded the highest priority by Indian Railways.”
Lodhi wanted to know “the manner in which the safety of railway tracks is being ensured in view of the high speed of Vande Bharat trains.”
