Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday morning flagged off the newly upgraded Vande Bharat Express, a semi high-speed train that will connect Gandhinagar and Mumbai.
After flagging off the train from Gandhinagar Capital at around 10.30 am, he took a ride to Kalupur railway station in Ahmedabad. This train is the third of its kind. The first such train operates on the New Delhi-Varanasi route, while the second one on the New Delhi-Vaishno Devi Katra route, an official said.
The train will provide passengers aircraft-like travelling experience and advanced safety features including Kavach technology, an indigenously developed Train Collision Avoidance System, the official added.
