Vande Bharat Express on Howrah-Puri route cancelled today

Indian Railways has announced that the services of the Howrah-Puri Vande Bharat will remain cancelled today, 22 May 2023.

The Indian transporter took the step after a hailstorm damaged the train on Sunday.

The semi-high speed on this route sustained damages on multiple fronts after it departed from Bhadrak Railway station in Odisha.

Specifically the windscreen of the main engine as well as the window glass of the compartments, were damaged in the incident while the train was on its way from Puri to Howrah.
