Tree branches fell on the Puri-Howrah Vande Bharat Express during a storm in Odisha’s Jajpur district on Sunday, and got entangled with its pantograph, besides cracking its windshield, officials said.
The incident happened around 4.45 pm between Baitarani Road and Manjuri Road stations, they said.
The Howrah-Puri-Howrah Vande Bharat Express was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, and commenced its commercial run on Saturday.
No one was injured in the incident, a South Eastern Railway official said.
