India’s fastest train, Train 18, which was not even open for public service yet was pelted with stones on Thursday.
The train was on a trial run between Delhi and Agra and was scheduled to be flagged off by PM Modi on December 29th.
Sudhanshu Mani, General Manager of the Integral Coach Factory tweeted that the train was running at a speed of 180 km/h, when some vandal threw a stone breaking a window glass.
This is the reason why we can’t have nice things, BTW.
According to NDTV, Train 18 is the country’s first engine-less train and is designed to replace Shatabdi trains. It’s supposed to run between Delhi and Varanasi.
Twitter is equally enraged over this idiotic menace. Many high ranking officials have tweeted their disgust over the act, as well.
Incredible India, indeed.
