The Odisha government has urged the Centre to run more Vande Bharat Express trains through the state.
The demand was raised on a day when the new Vande Bharat Express had its trial run between Howrah and Puri on Friday. The state sought the introduction of the Vande Bharat Express trains on Bhubaneswar-Hyderabad, Puri-Rourkela, and Puri-Howrah routes.
In a letter to Union railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, Odisha commerce and transport minister Tukuni Sahu said: “I would like to request you to introduce Vande Bharat Express trains through Odisha to meet the growing aspirations of people.
