Watch: Health Minister Shares Incredible Video of Vande Bharat Express Train

The Vande Bharat Express trains are enjoying quite a celebrity status in India, ever since they were launched a couple of years ago by the Indian Railways. The semi-high speed trains are witnessing almost full occupancy on all of its 10 routes. Not only is the general public interested to see Vande Bharat trains, but the political class is also a fan of this train. Recently, Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare; Chemicals and Fertilizers, Government of India shared a breathtaking video of a Vande Bharat Express train passing through an unknown rural landscape. 

What's special about this video is the way it has been captured, with mountains in the backdrop, and reflection falling on a water body between the camera and the train. The white coloured train looks fantastic due to its reflection in the water. The Vande Bharat Express is the only white-coloured train in India, and hence, has a unique presence, along with its aerodynamic design.

Usually, these types of videos highlighting the achievements of a particular department are shared by the ministers heading these ministries themselves. Case in point, Nitin Gadkari, Road Transport and Highways minister often shares beautiful pics of modern highways in India, while Ashwini Vaishnaw, Railway Minister share videos of India's incredible railway network. Health minister sharing a video of Vande Bhara Express train, is seen as an incredible feat for the Indian Railways.
