stations near Agra Cantt. The incident occurred despite clear warnings and a temporary speed restriction imposed due to the bridge renovation. The Gatiman Express, India's first semi-high speed train, violated the speed limit while travelling from Agra Cantt to Gwalior. Similarly, the Malwa Express also exceeded the speed limit in the same location shortly after the Gatiman incident. Railway officials have confirmed that the section normally allows trains to run at 120 km/h, but the bridge repair work led to the 20 km/h speed restriction. The railway authorities have taken the violations seriously, citing the potential danger to hundreds of passengers. This highlights the importance of adherence to safety protocols and the consequences of ignoring speed limits during ongoing infrastructure work.
