Indian Railways‘ Western Railway zone (WR) has completed the work of fencing along the tracks to curb the incidents of cattle runover. The metal fencing has been installed on the section between Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
The work for erecting the barrier on the 357 km long stretch began in January this year. The move comes following the multiple-incident cattle-hit by Vande Bharat Express. The zonal railway has planned to build a metal barrier on the 623 RKM at a cost of around Rs 245 crore.
The metal beam fencing has been completed in 150 route kilometres (RKM) in the Mumbai Central division, 175 RKM in the Vadodara division, and 31 RKM in the Ahmedabad division.
