Stones were also thrown at Tejaswini Express

Let us tell you that a few days ago, Tapaswini Express was similarly stoned near Lapanga station in Sambalpur. It is clear from these continuous incidents that the railways will have to tighten the security system, especially at those places where trains stop or move slowly. The railway administration and RPF are also appealing to the passengers that if they see any suspicious activity, they should immediately report it, so that action can be taken in time. At present, Alleppey Express has completed its journey normally and there has been no harm to the passengers.
