The ATM worked smoothly during the journey, with only minor interruptions when the train passed through the no-network zone between Igatpuri and Kasara, an area known for its tunnels. Despite the short signal losses, the ATM continued to function well and served its purpose. Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared a video of the ATM on social media, calling it the first of its kind in India.

 PROTEST ERUPTS IN OTUKPO OVER INCESSANT KILLINGS,  KIDNAPPINGS


 April 1, 2025


Angry residents of Otukpo, Benue State, have taken to the streets in protest against the rising cases of killings and kidnappings in the area.


Reports have it that the demonstrators, chanting ā€œWe no go gree!ā€ blocked major roads, demanding urgent action from the government and security agencies to address the growing insecurity.


One of the protesters, who identified himself as Daniel Oche, lamented the frequent attacks, describing them as a ā€œconstant recurrence.ā€ He also made a shocking revelation, alleging that electricity is always cut off in the community before each attack.


ā€œThis has been happening again and again. We are not safe in our own homes. And have you noticed? NEPA (JEDC) always takes light before every operation. It’s like they don’t want us to see what’s coming,ā€ he said.


The protest, which has drawn a large crowd, follows a series of deadly attacks in the area. Residents say the violence has forced many to flee their homes, while those who remain live in constant fear.


Security operatives have not been deployed to manage the situation.
