New Delhi, The average speed of a train depends upon the geometry of the track, stoppages enroute and maintenance work in the section among others, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw told Rajya Sabha on Friday. Track geometry, stoppages, upkeep impact train running: Vaishnaw on Vande Bharat speed He was replying to a question by NCP MP Fauzia Khan who asked, "whether government is aware of the fact that the average speed of Vande Bharat trains has decreased from 84.48 kilometre per hour in 2020-21 to 76.25 kilometre per hour in 2023-24 due to incomplete track upgrade and infrastructural constraint."

Vaishnaw stated that the Vande Bharat trains currently running over the Indian Railway network are semi-high speed train services with design speed of 180 kmph and maximum operating speed of 160 kmph. "The average speed of the train depends upon geometry of the track, stoppages enroute, maintenance work in the section etc," he said. Vaishnaw added, "Upgrade and improvement of railway tracks on Indian Railways to increase the speed potential have been carried out in a big way during last 10 years. The measures for track upgrade include use of 60 kg rails, wider base concrete sleepers, thick web switches, longer rail panels, H Beam sleepers, modern track renewal and maintenance machines etc." The railway minister, while presenting a comparative figure of track potential in 2014 and 2025 said, "As a result of above measures, there has been significant increase in speed potential of the tracks." Details of speed potential of railway tracks during 2014 vis a vis 2025 suggested that while in 2014, 5 per cent track were suitable to run trains at 130 and above speed, in 2025, 21.8 per cent tracks can support such speed.

Trinamool MPs visit Jai Hind camp in Delhi, welcome court order staying eviction
Agency: PTI Last Updated: New Delhi, Jul 25 (PTI) A delegation of Trinamool Congress MPs on Friday visited the Jai Hind camp in Delhi's Vasant Kunj, and welcomed a court order staying eviction at the settlement. Welcoming the court order staying the eviction until August 8, Trinamool's deputy leader in Rajya Sabha, Sagarika Ghose, alleged that the locals were being targeted for speaking Bangla. Besides Ghose, Trinamool MP from Cooch Behar Jagadish Basunia, and Rajya Sabha MPs Mausam Noor and Mamata Bala Thakur were part of the delegation. 'We had staged a dharna here… People here are being attacked and called Bangladeshis even though they have all the valid documents – ration card, Aadhaar card, etc. Yet they are being called Bangladeshis because they speak Bangla," Ghose said. 'Our main demand was that their eviction should be stayed… We have got some satisfaction as the eviction has been stayed by a court. 'But the issue of water supply and electricity connections still remains to be resolved. We will continue our movement till they get these amenities," she added. The informal settlement, which lies amid the posh sectors in Vasant Kunj and Masoodpur village, houses around 5,000 migrant workers, who say they hail from Cooch Behar in West Bengal. Power supply was snapped in the camp following a court order on July 8 in an encroachment case. Trinamool MPs had staged a sit-in protest at the settlement on July 14-15.
