Indian Railways has cancelled the inauguration ceremony of the nation’s 19th Vande Bharat Express train. The train to be operated between Madgaon and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) was supposed to be flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 03, 2023 (today).
The move comes following the triple train crash in Odisha. This is being considered to be the one of the deadliest train accidents in recent times. Over 230 people have been killed and more than 900 injured in a crash involving the Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast Express, the Shalimar-Chennai Central Coromandel Express and a goods train.
