Saturday, 27 April 2024 Indian Railways is gearing up to commence trial runs of short-distance Vande Metro trains in July, alongside the launch of the sleeper version of Vande Bharat next month. The Vande Metro trains are slated to operate on routes spanning 100-250 kilometers, while the Vande Bharat Sleeper trains will be designated for routes exceeding 1,000 kilometers. Officials indicate that the Vande Metro trains will establish connections across approximately 124 cities.
Union minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw visited Integral Coach Factory (ICF) to inspect Vande Bharat rakes, Amrit Bharat train coaches and Vistadome dining car in Chennai on January 10. Union Minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw said, "Amrit Bharat train has been made for ordinary citizens. The General coach has the same facilities as any premium coach. It has been made with the sense of 'sabka saath, sabka vikas and upliftment of all. You will see several new features, like the quality of seats and fans, charging points, lumbar support in chairs and newly designed toilets. Improvements are being continuously made in Vande Bharat trains also."

On Monday, the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and Sanyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) called for a Punjab bandh, resulting in the cancellation of over 150 trains by Indian Railways. The ongoing protest, which started on February 13, has led to farmers blocking rail tracks at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana. With key trains like the Vande Bharat Express and Shatabdi Express affected, this bandh is putting pressure on the government to address farmers' demands. Stay updated on the latest details and alternative routes for commuters.
