Incident Overview

On Monday evening, a significant disruption occurred in the New Delhi-Agra rail section when thieves stole a six-meter signal cable near Runkata. This theft caused a failure in the signal system, affecting the operation of numerous trains, including the Rani Kamalapati Vande Bharat Express. The signal failure was reported at around 4 PM, leading to the halt of 11 trains on the up line and five trains on the down line, with delays ranging from 20 minutes to 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Impact on Train Operations

The sudden failure of the signal system near Km No. 1398/21-23 prompted immediate action from railway authorities. The loco pilot of the Vande Bharat Express noticed the issue but was unable to resume operations promptly due to the extensive signal failure affecting multiple points. As a result, a team of railway officials was dispatched to address the situation, while the Mathura Control Room communicated the developments to the DRM office. The investigation revealed that the theft of the cable was the primary cause of the disruption.

Restoration Efforts and Delays

Following the identification of the cable theft, railway officials began the process of installing new cables and conducting repairs, which continued until approximately 5:30 PM. As a consequence of the theft, several trains experienced delays, with the Rani Kamalapati Bhopal Vande Bharat being notably delayed by 10 minutes. Public Relations Officer DC Chauhan confirmed that the theft had impacted the schedule of multiple trains, resulting in delays ranging from 10 to 25 minutes for some services.
