Nearly a week after the new Vande Bharat train between Mumbai Central and Gandhinagar was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the train suffered minor damages on Thursday morning after it hit cattle on tracks in Gujarat.
The incident occurred at 11:18 a.m. between Gairatpur and Vatva stations.
“Three-four buffaloes suddenly came on the way of the Mumbai-Gandhinagar Vande Bharat, damaging the train’s nose made up of FRP [fibre-reinforced plastic]. However, no functional part got damaged,” a Railway official said.
