Railways suspends official who delayed Vande Bharat train by 2 min

The Venad Express and Vande Bharat trains arrived at Piravom station at the same time during the latter's first trial run. The Venad Express was granted the go-ahead, as there were more passengers. This resulted in a two-minute delay for the Vande Bharat train. Following this, Indian Railways suspended Kumar, a senior railway employee and railway controller. However, the suspension was cancelled when it became debatable and labour unions stepped in.
