His new name is ‘Bande Bharat’. The blue-white train was set to leave for Varanasi at 11.18 am after the inauguration on Saturday.

Besides smoke may also be seen from inside the train. The train breaks in a while. Railway engineers said the smoke was out due to internal mechanical errors. Later, the train was taken to a nearby carshade.
