NEW DELHI: Western Railway staffers will reach out to villagers living in the vicinity of the Ahmedabad- Mumbai tracks to counsel them to not let their cattle wander near the tracks in view of the accident involving the Vande Bharat Express on Thursday.
The railway will also build a fence along the tracks on the route to avoid accidents, described as the only way to prevent accidents involving a herd of buffaloes on the tracks on Thursday. Three buffaloes were killed in the accident which damaged the Nose Cone Cover of the driver coach.
“We aim to begin fencing work and complete it by 2024 to avoid such accidents in future,” a railway official said.
