PM Modi to virtually inaugurate Secunderabad-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat train on Sankranti

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who ‘temporarily postponed’ his one-day tour of Hyderabad scheduled on January 19, will virtually flag off the Vande Bharat Express train from Secunderabad to Visakhapatnam on January 15 on the occasion of Sankranti festival.

Union minister G Kishan Reddy said the flagging of the semi-high speed express train on the festival day was a Sankranti gift to the people of two Telugu states. Reddy tweeted: “A Sankranti gift to the People of Telangana & Andhra Pradesh! In a major boost to rail connectivity in both states, Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi will virtually flag off the 8th Vande Bharat Train from Secunderabad Railway Station. 15th Jan, 2023 10:00 am.”
