PM Modi To Flag Off Puri-Howrah Vande Bharat Express Today

Puri (News on time)| Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off Odisha’s first Vande Bharat Express on 18 May. The Puri-Howrah Vande Bharat train will be flagged off from Puri at around 1 pm by the Prime Minister via video conferencing.

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw will grace the programme at Puri station. This is the second Vande Bharat Express that West Bengal is getting after the one that runs between Howrah and New Jalpaiguri.

According to Prime Minister’s Office (PMO), the train will provide a faster, more comfortable and convenient travel experience to passengers, boost tourism and promote economic development in the region.

The Vande Bharat Express will pass through Khordha, Cuttack, Jajpur, Bhadrak, and Balasore districts in Odisha and Paschim Medinipur and Purba Medinipur districts in West Bengal. The train will provide a faster, comfortable and convenient travel experience for passengers, boost tourism and promote economic development in the region. Earlier in April, the railways had conducted the trial run of the Vande Bharat Express between Howrah and Puri.

Apart from that, Modi will lay the foundation stone for redeveloping Puri and Cuttack railway stations so that passengers can get all modern amenities in future.

The prime minister will also dedicate 100 per cent electrification of the rail network in Odisha. This will reduce the operating and maintenance cost and reduce reliance on imported crude oil, an official of the East Coast Railways said in Bhubaneswar.

Modi is also scheduled to dedicate the doubling of the Sambalpur-Titlagarh rail line, a new broad gauge rail line between Angul and Sukinda, the third line connecting Manoharpur-Rourkela-Jharsuguda-Jamga and a new broad-gauge line between Bichhupali and Jhartarbha.

These will cater to the increased traffic demands as a result of rapid industrial development in the steel, power & mining sectors in Odisha and will also help ease the pressure on passenger traffic in these rail sections.
