According to a release of the East Coast Railway (ECoR), the Vande Bharat Express (22895/22896) between Howrah and Puri has been cancelled due to late running of the connecting train. “22895/22896 Howrah-Puri Vande Bharat Express is cancelled on May 22 (Monday) due to late running of the connecting train,” the ECoR said.
