NO PROPOSAL TO REDUCE TRAIN SPEED


Lok Sabha

There is no proposal to reduce speed of all trains. However, in the wake of miscreant activity, endangering safety of trains, the maximum train speed on certain sections, considered vulnerable from sabotage point of view, has been temporarily reduced during night time as a precautionary measure.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Bandaru Dattatraya in a written reply to a question from Prof. Ummareddy Venkateswarlu in the Lok Sabha today.
