The Madgaon-CSMT Vande Bharat Express train, which was to be flagged off on Saturday, has been cancelled, owing to the collision between Coromandel Express and a freight train in Odisha’s Balasore district on Friday.
There is no fixed date on when the fourth Vande Bharat train will be scheduled to run.
The Indian Railways was all gung-ho about the flag-off ceremony and had planned it with much fanfare. On Friday, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw claimed that all states would be covered by Vande Bharat trains.
