250 railway employees deployed to clear bullet train mishap at Vatva, train services resumed

Two slab-launching cranes collapsed on Sunday night during the ongoing construction of National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) for bullet train near Ahmedabad’s  Vatva. 

The collapse caused a blockage on the Vatva railway line, leading to multiple train diversions and cancellations for March 24.

In response, 250 railway workers were deployed to the site. Three cranes and other heavy machinery were used to clear the debris. After 30 hours of continuous work, train services were successfully resumed.

Notably, following the incident, NHRSCL project managers and authorities rushed to the site for inspection and supervision.

As a result, regular train operations on the Vatva track resumed on Tuesday.
