Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday flagged off the 8th Vande Bharat Express of the country that will connect Telangana’s Secunderabad and Andhra Pradesh’s Visakhapatnam.
This is the first Vande Bharat of this year and the second to be flag off in 15 days, PM Modi said lauding the speed at which the work for Vande Bharat is going on in the country. Eight years ago, Indian Railways was a sorry picture of disappointment, PM Modi said.
