Hitting a cow:
Railways Min: Vande Bharat Express was standing 18km from Tundla since 6.30 am. There seems to be disruption due to a possible cattle run over. It wasn’t a scheduled commercial run.

According to this Indian Journalist, the train was stuck because it hit a cow.
That the indigenous train Vande Bharat Express (formerly known as Train 18), which was on its way from Varanasi to Delhi, days after it was flagged off by PM Modi, broke down after hitting a cow somehow sums up the last 5 years of this government

The precise problem with this government is for them event is bigger than content
