The Vande Bharat Express is a symbol of modern and aspirational India and the country’s progress can be seen whenever it runs from one place to another, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday.
Modi made the remarks as he virtually flagged off Odisha’s first Vande Bharat Express that will connect Puri to West Bengal’s Howrah. It is expected to cover a distance of 500km in six-and-a-half hours, according to railway officials.
“The Vande Bharat Express is a symbol of modern and aspirational India. India’s speed and progress can be seen whenever a Vande Bharat Train runs from one place to another.
