On October 13, the fourth Vande Bharat Express train’s operations were launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Himachal Pradesh region of Una. Later, the chief ministers of Himachal Pradesh and Haryana, Jairam Thakur and Manohar Lal Khattar, were spotted traveling on the fast train. Beginning the next week, the train is expected to reduce the distance between Delhi and Chandigarh to three hours. According to a government statement, it will take two hours less to go from Una to New Delhi.
Vande Bharat 2.0 has more improvements and innovations than its predecessor, including the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under 52 seconds and reach a top speed of 180 km/h. In comparison to the previous version’s 430 tonnes, the enhanced Vande Bharat Express will weigh 392 tonnes. Additionally, it will feature an on-demand Wi-Fi content facility. Additionally, it offers aircraft-like traveling experiences and cutting-edge security measures, such as the locally built KAVACH Train Collision Avoidance System.
PM Modi debuted the third Vande Bharat train in Gujarat earlier this month.
However, there have also been some documented incidents that are related to the fast train. It was the third technical issue in as many days when a semi-high-speed train traveling between New Delhi and Varanasi experienced a delay last week.
A Vande Bharat Express train struck three buffaloes the day before and a cow the following day, both in Gujarat.
