The two Vande Bharat Express trains – which would be flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi – would connect major temple towns and pilgrimage places of Maharashtra. It would give a major boost to religious tourism in Maharashtra.
On a day-long visit to Mumbai on Friday, Modi would flag off the Express trains which originate from the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The two trains are Mumbai-Solapur Vande Bharat Train and Mumbai-Sainagar Shirdi Vande Bharat Train, which would be the ninth and tenth Vande Bharat Express trains.
