Fight erupts between two railway divisions over running Agra-Udaipur Vande Bharat train
Kota: Chaos erupted once again over the operation of the newly inaugurated Vande Bharat Express train between Agra and Udaipur as employees from the Kota and Agra Railway Division clashed on Thursday. A viral video shows loco pilots fighting among themselves to run the semi high-speed train reportedly at the Gangapur City Junction in Rajasthan.
The dispute began during the train's inauguration earlier this week when staff from the Agra and Kota Railway Divisions argued over who would operate the semi high-speed train. The dispute escalated, leading to the damage of the guard room lock and glass windowpane, and resulted in the assault of a loco pilot and his assistant, with their clothes reportedly torn, according to officials, as reported by ETV Bharat.
The fight reportedly occurred in front of Railway Protection Force personnel at the station, who were allegedly seen recording videos rather than intervening and stopping the fight.
According to the report, GRP Gangapur City SHO Dalbir Singh stated that a case has been registered against an unidentified railway personnel on the complaint of Agra guard Raghavendra Saraswat. Further investigation are underway.

“Goli maro…” slogan raised as ABVP-linked group disrupts play at University of Hyderabad
Hyderabad: A group allegedly linked to the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) disrupted a theatre performance at the University of Hyderabad on Sunday evening. The group is also accused of vandalising property and assaulting students.
Slogans such as “Desh ke gaddaron ko, goli maro…” were raised during the incident, according to eyewitnesses.
According to the Observer Post, the disruption happened as Mahesh Elkunchwar's play Holi was being staged at the Department of Theatre Arts' GB Hall. The group reportedly objected to certain portions of the play, claiming that some phrases hurt religious sentiments.
According to accounts from those present, the situation escalated when individuals forced their way into the venue after damaging fixtures and breaking glass panels outside the auditorium. Students attempting to intervene were reportedly assaulted, and a guest faculty member was allegedly threatened.
Several students sustained injuries and were provided initial treatment at the campus health centre before being shifted to a nearby hospital.
Police later arrived at the scene, brought the situation under control, and escorted those inside the hall to safety. Witnesses said tensions remained high, with some members of the group continuing to raise slogans during the evacuation.
