💨 Abstract

The Railway Minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw, announced in the Lok Sabha that railway tracks across India are kept vacant for maintenance for a few hours every day to ensure train safety. This decision, taken in 2018, was based on a study by IIT Bombay, and is meant to address the micro fractures created on the tracks due to the high speed of trains.
