Time to take serious view of stone-throwing at trains

For years now, we have had reports of objects being flung at local trains, with the aim of harassing people, just for a sickening lark or for robbery

Railway officials said they had examined the video - this is a grab from it - and indeed found mischief by the workers
Central Railway officials filed a case with the Railway Protection Force (RPF) against rail workers who threw sand and construction material at running trains, after a complaint on social media by a Hyderabad Express passenger. Those complaints were backed by a video. The clip showed rail workers building a tunnel near Khandala, throwing mud and dust on a passing train.
Once the entire complaint was verified, a warning letter has been sent to the agency entrusted with the work, to see that workers are disciplined and fall in line. Otherwise action will be escalated.
