Luxury train Golden Chariot's Inauguration Delayed in Karnataka - Chennai
Karnataka's much-touted luxury train Golden Chariot's inauguration has delayed due to bad weather conditions in Chennai where it is being given the final touches. Main Problem in delay was last week's heavy rain in Chennai that slowed down the work on the bogies at the Integral Coach Factory.
The train that should have chugged off from Yeshwanthpur Railway Station on Sunday taking tourists on a pricey tour of Karnataka will have its first trial run in the second week of January.
