Second Set of Vande Bharat Express Trains Flagged Off by PM Modi in 3 South-Indian States

PM Modi has graced the occasion of the first trip of the Vande Bharat Express Trains by flagging it off the Chennai and Secunderabad railways stations. It is a proud moment for the country to see the railway infrastructure evolving at a faster pace under the visionary leadership of PM Narendra Modi.

 One of the crucial features of the Vande Bharat Express trains is that some of the set routes link major pilgrim spots. PM Modi flagged off the Vande Bharat Express train linking Hyderabad (the city of the Bhagyalakshmi temple) and Tirupati (the city of Lord Venkateswara).

 

Goddess Bhagyalakshmi’s makeshift temple is situated in Hyderabad near the Charminar. Tirupati, however, as a renowned pilgrim spot, needs no introduction.

 

The striking feature of the Vande Bharat Express connecting these two locations is that the travel time has been reduced by 3.5 hours. Very aptly, PM Modi in his speech after flagging off the train, said, “Vande Bharat Express represents a convergence of faith, modernity, technology, and tourism.”

 

PM Modi flagged off the Chennai-Coimbatore Vande Bharat Express train from the MGR Chennai Central Railway Station while also inaugurating the Secunderabad railway station’s progressive redevelopment plan. It is the second Vande Bharat train starting from Chennai after the Chennai-Mysore Vande Bharat Express.

 

The Secunderabad-Tirupati Vande Bharat Express, the 13th train in the series, was also flagged off by the PM from Secunderabad. This train will reduce the travel time between its starting and final destination by 3 hours 20 mins.

 

During this moment of pride, PM Modi said, “Vande Bharat Express is synonymous with pride, comfort, and connectivity. The train between Secunderabad and Tirupati will benefit tourism, particularly spiritual tourism. It will also boost economic growth.”
