The incident occurred on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway around 4 am on Monday, and many passengers were trapped inside the wreckage as both the vehicles overturned after the collision.

The Project passes through the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and the Union Territory of Dadra & Nagar Haveli with 12 stations planned at Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar, Vapi, Billimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad and Sabarmati.

The move came after reports about the poor condition of some Amma Canteens and feedback that food quality and taste had declined at several outlets.
