It was launched in January 2010 & is walking fantastically ever since. This train is the most luxurious amongst the Indian trains. Maharaja Express is born out of a joint venture between ICRTC & Cox & Kings India Ltd.
Indian Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee inaugurated Maharajas’ Express, a new luxury train with all modern facilities on Saturday but her railway ministry has come up with a print commercial that has emerged as a large shameful to the Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee.
& entertainingly, the ad says the travel experience will show you an India like never before, like each cabin is equipped with large windows so you can watch fleeting frames of India looking through your window.
India map on the inauguration ad of the new train’s route map shows Delhi in Pakistan & Kolkata somewhere outside Indian borders in sea.
The Railways has apologized for the mistake & taken action against the ad agency.
