The train between Khetrajpur and Talbhatapada was stopped for some time. The train was stopped due to lack of green signals. Meanwhile, taking advantage of the opportunity, three youths rained stones at a general bogie of the train.

Strict legal action is being taken against the arrested youths. Such incidents are a serious threat to the safety of railway passengers and cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.
Stones were also thrown on Tejaswini Express
Please tell that a few days ago, a similar stone was pelted on the Tapaswini Express near Lapanga station in Sambalpur. It is clear from these frequent incidents that the railways will have to further tighten the security, especially in places where trains stop or run slowly. Railway administration and RPF are also appealing to passengers that if any suspicious activity is seen, then inform it immediately, so that action can be taken in time. Currently, the Ellappi Express has completed its journey normally and has not suffered any damage to the passengers. (Input- Shubham Kumar)
