Indian Railways is going to start two more Vande Bharat Express tomorrow. After the start of these two new Vande Bharat trains, the total number of Vande Bharat Express trains currently running in the country will be 13.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off the Secunderabad-Tirupati Vande Bharat Express at Secunderabad Railway Station tomorrow.
This is the route of new trains
The Secunderabad-Tirupati Vande Bharat Express, which will connect IT city Hyderabad with Tirupati, will be the second Vande Bharat train to originate from the state of Telangana. Both these trains will be started within a short span of three months. The travel time between the two cities by train will be reduced by about three and a half hours. In particular, this train will prove beneficial for the devotees.
At the same time, at MGR Chennai Central Railway Station, PM Narendra Modi will start the Chennai- Coimbatore Vande Bharat Express. PM Modi will also start the express train between Tambaram and Sengottai there. Apart from this, Prime Minister Modi will also flag off the DEMU service between Thiruthurapundi to Agastiyampalli. This will benefit the people of the surrounding districts.
PM Modi will also inaugurate this project
The Prime Minister will also inaugurate the 37 km gauge conversion section between Thiruthurapundi to Agasthiampalli. This section was completed by the Railways at a total cost of Rs 294 crore. This will also help in the movement of food and industrial salt. Apart from this, PM Narendra Modi will also inaugurate the electrification and doubling of Secunderabad-Mahbubnagar project.
This project covering a distance of more than 85 kilometers has been completed at a cost of about 1,410 crores. The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) said in a statement that this project will provide uninterrupted connectivity and will also help in increasing the average speed of trains.
Let us tell you that the first Vande Bharat Express started in February 2019 between New Delhi and Varanasi. At the same time, the second Vande Bharat train was run between New Delhi to Mata Vaishno Devi Katra. The third Vande Bharat Express was started last year between Mumbai and Ahmedabad. The fourth Vande Bharat was run between Delhi and Una in Himachal Pradesh.
