बनारस-आगरा वंदे भारत चलाने के लिए पहले ही दिन रार, ट्रेन के आगे ट्रैक पर बैठे ड्राइवर और गार्ड

A dispute has arisen in Varanasi regarding the operation of the Vande Bharat Express, India's VIP and semi-high-speed train. Drivers and guards from the North Eastern Railway (NER) are demanding to operate the train on its route from Varanasi to Agra, instead of drivers and guards from the North Central Railway...

(NCR). The NER employees protested by sitting on the tracks and then on platform 8 of the Varanasi station. This follows similar incidents in Agra and Lucknow, with one incident in Agra even leading to physical altercation and forced removal of drivers from the train. The Vande Bharat Express, launched by PM Modi virtually from Gujarat, was scheduled to start its journey from Varanasi to Agra on Monday. The NER drivers protested citing railway regulations that state that their jurisdiction extends to Prayagraj and the train should be operated by them within their zone. They also raised concerns about unfamiliar routes and safety protocols being employed by NCR drivers.

Vande Bharat Express, India ka VIP aur semi-high-speed train, ko chalane ke liye Varanasi mein rarr chalu ho gayi hai. Varanasi se Agra ke liye start hui Vande Bharat train ko chalane ka kaam NCR ke driver aur guard se karvaane ki jagah NER ke driver aur guard se karvaane ki...

maang ki gayi hai. NER ke driver aur guard ne train ke aage track pe kuchh der baith kar dharna dene ke baad platform pe bhi dharna dikhaaya. Isse pehle Agra aur Lucknow mein bhi aisa hi ho chuka hai. Agra mein to chalako aur guard ke beech maar-peet bhi ho gayi thi. Kapde faad diye gaye the. Chalako ko jabarjan force se train se bahar kar diya gaya tha. Vande Bharat train ko Agra se Varanasi ke liye PM Modi ne Gujarat se virtual dhandhi dikhakar start kiya tha. Schedule decide nahi hone ki wajah se abhi tak ye train start nahi ho payi thi. Shukravaar ko schedule aaya aur somvaar se isko chalane ki tarikh ailan ki gayi. Iske baad dopahar 2:30 pe Varanasi station ke platform 8 pe Agra ke liye Vande Bharat train pahunchi. Issi waqt NER ke driver bhi pahuche aur train ko NCR ke driver se chalane ka virodh kiya. Apne haathon mein takhtiyan aur chest pe kagaz se likhi maang leke pahunche NER ke chalako ne Vande Bharat Express ke aage track pe baith kar dharna dena start kiya. Kuchh der waha dharna dene ke baad platform 8 pe aa gaye aur waha dharna start kar diya. Train ko NCR ke driver aur guard se chalane ka virodh kiya. Chalako ka kahna tha ki railway ke rules ke hisab se NER ka area Prayagraj tak hai. Waha tak Vande Bharat Express ko hum logo ko chalana chahiye. Is VIP train ko NER ke area mein bhi NCR ke chalako se chalaya ja raha hai. Kaha ki NER ka route aur safety protocols hum logo ko pata hai lekin hum logo ke haathon se jabarjan is train ko leke NCR ke chalako ke havale kiya ja raha hai.
