Railways have intensified track patrolling following the derailment of Sabarmati Express in Jhansi, with AI solutions under consideration for enhanced security. Night patrolling was not regular previously but has now started. Investigation is ongoing to determine if the incident was sabotage. Challenges include limited track maintainers and manual provisions limiting night patrolling to special circumstances. Calls for mandatory year-round patrolling and increased track maintainer strength are being made.
