To prevent a recurrence of these incidents, the Ministry of Home Affairs has instructed the Anti-Terrorist Squad to strengthen local intelligence.

The Agra Railway Division has initiated the removal of scrap materials and stones along the railway tracks during the drive. Joint teams of railway and RPF personnel are involved in the removal of scrap. Scrap, including rail line pieces, stones, and sleepers found along the railway line, are being removed and stored in a safe location.
