1st run may cancelled due to this

Causing a major embarrassment to ministry of railways, India's first indigenous semi-high speed train Vande Bharat Express or Train 18 met with a major technical snag at Barhan on Saturday, hours before its first commercial ride on February 17.

At around 5.30 am in the morning, when the train was on its way back after the inaugural run with a group of journalists and railway staff, the train met with the technical snag about 18 kilometers away from Tundla. This was followed up by smoke and foul smell in the first four coaches of the train.
