News broke out when India’s first engine less train, Vande Bharat Express or Train 18 broke down after a day of it’s launch. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated it in Delhi, after which it began its first journey with mostly journalists and Railway officials.
The train was brought to Delhi as it cannot be driven at its usual speed, it was moving at 40km per hour.It was returning from Varanasi when it broke down about 200 km from the capital city. After some necessary repairs it resumed again.
There were no signs of damage on the front of the train so experts at the Railways are saying that the breakdown must have been due to some cattle run over. On this incident BBC had the most sarcastic tweet ever.

Actually, it's probably some social media intern managing the account who thought s/he was being *kewl*.

Not surprised given that they still refer to Kashmir as India Administered Kashmir 🤷

Anandbhai, BBC has been living in the same world prior to 1947 and hence when they see a developing India, they got a shock. My country is changing and is going to scale new heights. They can’t even digest that we are or have overtaken them in terms of GDP 😏
