Useful
Tatanagar - Brahmapur Vande Bharat Express willl not start from Brahmapur on its inaugural day, but it will start from Tatanagar and will be flagged off by PM Narendra Modi before flagging off Tatanagar - Patna Vande Bharat Express. Secondly, Dangoaposi Station is missing from the station list of Tatanagar - Brahmapur Vande Bharat Express, whereas it has scheduled stoppage at Dangoaposi Station.

A dispute regarding the operation of the Udaipur City-Agra Cantt Vande Bharat Express has been resolved.

employees wanted to operate the train, while Agra division staff aimed to run it up to Kota. This resulted in clashes and altercations, including a physical assault on an Agra division employee at Gangapur City station. The incident prompted a police report and further confrontation at Eidgah station. To resolve the issue, railway headquarters has issued an order: Agra division crew will operate the train only up to Gangapur City, with Ajmer division employees taking over from there. Both divisions have been informed of this agreement.

Udaipur City se Agra Cantt tak chalne wali Vande Bharat Express ke operation ko lekar ek bada jhagda tha, jisko ab suljha diya gaya hai. Ajmer aur Agra division ke employees ke beech jhagda chal raha tha ki train ka operation kaun karega. 3 September ko train start hui thi, aur...

pehle din se hi yeh jhagda chal raha tha. Ajmer division chahta tha ki unka crew train chalaye, aur Agra division chahta tha ki woh train Kota tak le jaaye. Iske beech physical fight bhi hui, aur Gangapur City station pe Agra division ke ek employee ko mara gaya. Is incident ke baad police complaint bhi hui aur Eidgah station pe bhi jhagda hua. Yeh jhagda suljhaane ke liye railway headquarters ne order diya hai ki Agra division ka crew train ko sirf Gangapur City tak chalaega, aur waha se Ajmer division ka crew train chalaega. Dono divisions ko yeh order bata diya gaya hai.
