Earlier this month, the premium train was targeted by the stone pelters in Chhattisgarh's Dadhapara, which resulted in the breaking of the glass window panes of the train. 

Notably, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had virtually flagged off the Vande Bharat train service between Secunderabad in Telangana and the port city of Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh on the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti, January 15.
