The journey offered the delegation a firsthand experience of Japan’s cutting-edge high-speed rail network, known globally for its advanced infrastructure, stringent safety standards, and exceptional operational efficiency.

“Travelling on Japan’s Shinkansen was an inspiring experience,” said Saini. “It is fast, safe, and incredibly comfortable. I am confident that such world-class transport systems will soon become a reality for citizens in India.”

The delegation also utilized the journey to study various aspects of Japan’s rail system, including operations, maintenance protocols, passenger safety measures, and technological innovations.

Saini added that Haryana, in line with India’s development goals, will look to leverage Japan’s technical expertise to upgrade its own transport infrastructure and services.
