In such a situation, there are excellent opportunities for states like Uttarakhand. Vande Bharat train is also going to help Uttarakhand to take full advantage of this opportunity”.
“Uttarakhand’s connectivity is all set to get a big boost. At 11 AM today, I will be flagging off the 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,” PM Modi tweeted in the morning.
