PM Narendra Modi inaugurated the first Vande Bharat Express train of Uttarakhand via video conferencing today morning.
“Uttarakhand's connectivity is all set to get a big boost. At 11 AM today, I will be flagging off the Vande Bharat Express between Delhi and Dehradun. Making the occasion even more special is the feat of 100% electrification of Uttarakhand's rail tracks. Do join the programme,” the Prime Minister tweeted.
In a subsequent tweet, PM Modi said, “Delighted to flag off the Delhi-Dehradun Vande Bharat Express. It will ensure 'Ease of Travel' as well as greater comfort for the citizens”.
The express train will run between Dehradun and Delhi's Anand Vihar Railway Station. It will begin operating on May 29 and cover 302 km in four hours and forty-five minutes. The train will depart from Dehradun at 7 am and reach Delhi at 11:45 am on May 29.
Last week, PM Modi virtually flagged off the Vande Bharat Express train between Puri and Howrah. The indigenously manufactured train is equipped with state-of-the-art passenger amenities and aims to provide convenient and more comfortable travel to passengers.
