 Digital Desk: Tuesday, a 54-year-old woman was struck and killed by the Mumbai-bound Vande Bharat Express train close to the Anand train station in Gujarat.

 

Beatrice Archibald Peter has been named as the victim. According to the report, which also cited an official, she was crossing the track at the time of the accident at 4.37 p.m.

 

The train was travelling from Gandhinagar Capital station to Mumbai Central Anand is not where it stops. The report stated that additional research was being conducted.

The incident happened the day after it was reported that stones were thrown at a Vande Bharat train carrying Asaduddin Owaisi, the party president, in Gujarat, a state where elections are imminent. Police, however, refuted the assertion and stated that they were still looking into the Monday incident.

 

In the past month, there have been at least three instances of animals dying on the track after being struck by trains.

 

In Gujarat's Valsad, at 8:30 a.m. on October 29, a cow was struck by a Mumbai-Gandhinagar Vande Bharat Superfast Express train, causing damage to the engine's nose cover.

 

Since the semi-high speed train was introduced on September 30 and was built and manufactured locally, there had been three instances of train-cattle collisions. The train's initial voyage had been signaled off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Two identical occurrences involving livestock being ran over by the newly launched Vande Bharat Express happened in the first week of October. On October 6, a train travelling from Mumbai to Gandhinagar struck four buffaloes between the railway stations of Vatva and Maninagar in Gujarat, killing them. The damage required an overnight replacement of its nose panel. The second incident happened the following day, on October 7, when the train struck a cow while travelling to Mumbai through Gujarat's Anand region.
