On Saturday, an attempted train derailment prevented after miscreants removed fishplates and keys from a railway track near Kim Railway Station in Surat, Gujarat. Vadodara Division unidentified people opened the fishplate and some keys from the UP line track and put them on the same track near the Kim railway station, according to the Western Railway. However, service was soon restored. The foundation work of eight stations for the bullet trains was completed in the state on September 19. ‘The bullet train technology had come to India and we were going forward through the ‘Make in India’ initiative’, said the bullet train project director Pramod Sharma.

He further added, ‘It is our duty to tell media about what we are doing as we get positivity and support through this’. Earlier in the month, National High-Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) which is overseeing the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train project, said that the installation of noise barriers work along the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet Train Corridor is underway.
These noise barriers are installed to reduce the noise that will be generated by the train and civil structure during operations. Notably, the noise barriers are 2 metres high from the rail level and 1 metre wide concrete panels. Each noise barrier weighs around 830-840 kg. They will reflect and distribute the aerodynamic sound generated by the train and the sound will be generated by the lower part of the train, primarily by the wheels running on the tracks, said NHRSCL. Bullet train project Director Pramod Sharma said that the bullet train technology has come to India and we are going forward through the ‘Make in India’ initiative.
Earlier a train accident has come to light from the state of Rajasthan after foiled derailment in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. According to the media reports, cement blocks worth about one quintal were found at different places on the railway track in the Ajmer district. It is presumed that this was too a deliberate attempt to derail the goods train.
