Bhubaneswar: Vande Bharat Express from Puri to Howrah has been detained between Baitarani Road and Manjuri Road stations on Sunday afternoon.
The detention was attributed to damage to the overhead cable due to a storm near Bhadrak. The Train will be detained for some time as a big tree has fallen on track. Train expected to be ready to run again by 7.30 PM, the East Coast Railway informed.
“A diesel engine will clear the train very soon from from site to Manjuri Road as the pantograph is entangled with the overhead wire. After the train is cleared upto Manjuri Road, it will again work with its normal engine upto the destination. The expected time of rectification is 1 hour,” the ECoR stated.
