The overhead equipment (OHE) wires snapped due to a broken joint, causing a 4-hour disruption in rail operations between Kota and Sawai Madhopur. Passengers were stranded for hours. The train's pantograph was also damaged, and the train was brought to Kota using a diesel engine. Several other trains, including the Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani, Nizamuddin-Mumbai August Kranti, Jodhpur-Bhopal, Jaipur-Chennai, and Amritsar-Mumbai Deluxe, were also delayed due to the incident. The cause of the incident is still under investigation, but this is not the first time OHE wires have snapped on the Bundi railway section. Despite previous incidents, no investigation reports have been released to determine the cause of these recurring failures. Passengers expressed frustration about the lack of information and communication from the railway authorities regarding the delays and reasons for the disruptions.
