I understand, since Pakistan doesn't have a railway to begin with you can't compete with the Indian railways in any field. So you thought, hey I can say about rapes because it's related to railways but you forgot about open defecation. See defecation is directly related to railways as ever one does on tracks and guess what runs on tracks! *DING DING DING*** You correctly guessed it, TRAINS!

They have sold their railway lines ..

Indian specialty high-speed rail: Double speed playback!

Technical secret: 180KM/H/25fps*2=360KM/H/50fps

The train reached a speed of 180km/hr (110mph) during trials.

That ain't a high speed train

It hit the livestock, that is the reason for breakdown

It hit a holy cow? The train driver should be executed

180km is without load, operational speeds are much lower, maybe around 130-150kmhr

This railway minister knows the video was fake, we know it is fake, and he knows we knew it is fake, but 95% of his audience don't know or don't care it's fake and will cheer for it nonetheless. He would have kissed "good-bye" to his minister job the next day he posted this fake video, had he been a Chinese minister.

Interesting national psyche.

There is an option to opt out I guess. Just read the article in the link I've provided.

India's semi high-speed train Vande Bharat Express breaks down a day after its launch

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Vande Bharat Express, India’s first locally built semi high-speed train, broke down early on Saturday on its way back to New Delhi from Varanasi in northern Uttar Pradesh, a day after its inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The train can run up to a maximum speed of 160 km/hour.

“There seems to be disruption [possibly due to] cattle run over. It wasn’t a scheduled commercial run,” Reuters partner ANI said in a tweet citing the railways ministry.

The train eventually reached New Delhi and will resume a commercial run from Sunday, said the tweet.


India high speed train breaks down on first trip

PM Narendra Modi flagged off the Vande Bharat Express on Friday

India's fastest train has broken down on its first trip, a day after it was inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi.

The Indian-built semi high-speed Vande Bharat Express was returning to the capital Delhi from the city of Varanasi after its first outing when brakes in a carriage reportedly jammed.

Indian media quoted a railways spokesperson as saying the train may have struck cattle on the line.

The train reached a speed of 180km/hr (110mph) during trials.

• Train delay due to 'drunk' station master
• How India's single time zone is hurting its people

Soon after the brakes failed, the drivers noticed smoke in the last four coaches and power was lost in all compartments.

Those on board, mostly railway officials and journalists, had to take another train to get back to Delhi.

Despite the railway ministry's suggestion that the train may have hit a cow, NDTV reported that there were no signs of damage on the front of the train after the incident.

The new train service is expected to start its commercial run from Sunday. It is expected to reduce the travel time between Delhi and Varanasi by six hours.


A day after being flagged off, Vande Bharat Express runs into trouble twice
NEW DELHI: A day after it was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India's first semi-high speed train, Vande Bharat Express, ran into some trouble twice on Saturday while returning to Delhi from Varanasi, officials said.

The first incident occurred around 15 kilometres from Tundla junction in Uttar Pradesh, with officials calling it a case of "skidding wheels".

"This disruption appears to be because of a possible cattle run over. The train was returning at night and cattle run over is a possibility at odd times," Railway spokesperson Smita Vats Sharma said, adding this was not a commercial run, which is scheduled to start from Sunday.

According to sources, including several journalists on board the train, it was stuck near Tundla for over an hour.

"It was a case of skidding wheels after the train ran over cattle," Northern RailwayCPRO Deepak Kumar said.

After removing the obstacles, the train resumed its journey to Delhi at around 8:15 am, officials said.

However, it suffered a breakdown after 40 minutes at Hathras Junction and could resume journey after 10:20 am and is now running at a speed of less than 50 kmph, sources said.

Vande Bharat Express had hit 180 kmph during a trial run on a section of the Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani route, thus becoming India's fastest train.

The train had left Varanasi Junction at 10.30 pm for Delhi on Friday, nearly 45 minutes after reaching the holy city on its inaugural journey.

Train 18, which was rechristened Vande Bharat Express by Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, has been manufactured by the Integral Coach Factory, Chennai.

Yes, you can't opt out with regards to T-18

People are really insane... they don't have a modern railway and talking about Indian Train...

If some Chinese or someone having better network... want to comment... I can understand... but Pakistanis...

Ok... let's read the official communication:


During the transportation back from Varanasi it was stopped at Chamraula station of National Capital Region, about 18 kms after crossing the Tundla station. There was an issue of communication between the last basic unit of 4 coaches and the rest of the train probably due to some external hit. Thereafter, safety features in the train applied brakes. The train was checked for faults and moved to Delhi.”

Too much for illiterates to understand about safety feature???
