Vande Bharat Express : Indian Railways starts fencing on Mumbai-Ahmedabad route to avoid cattle accidents

The semi-high speed trains called Vande Bharat Express have become a huge hit among rail travellers in India. 

The Vande Bharat Express trains now run on 8 routes across various states in India, all of them being inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself.

Among these 8 routes is the 622-km Mumbai-Ahmedabad route, which is important for the Indian Railways.

The route will serve as the inaugural run of the upcoming Bullet Train project, made in partnership with Japan.

Before the Bullet Train arrives, Vande Bharat is serving as the preferred mode of transport for the people who travel on this route.

However, this route of Vande Bharat Express has been in the news for other reasons as well. 

The Express runs mostly through vast open fields, passing through rural Gujarat and Maharashtra, resulting in multiple cattle run incidents, causing damage to the train.

 After multiple such incidents, Indian Railways has now begun constructing metal beam fencing along the 622-kilometre stretch between Mumbai and Ahmedabad to protect against cattle run-overs.
