According to him, the event caused the train to become stuck for over 20 minutes before it was able to continue travelling in the direction of Gandhinagar.

“There was no operational harm to the train. In 20 minutes, it continued on its journey “Western Railway’s head public relations officer, Sumit Thakur, added that everyone on board the train was safe.On October 6, this train travelling from Mumbai to Gandhinagar struck four buffaloes between the Gujarati railroad stations of Vatva and Maninagar, killing them. The damage required an overnight replacement of its nose panel. The following day, on October 7, a second occurrence of this kind happened when a train travelling to Mumbai struck a cow near Anand in Gujarat.
