Vande Bharat trains: On separate routes on Sunday, nine brand-new Vande Bharat trains will be flagged off by the prime minister. There are two on the South Central Railways (SCR), two in West Bengal, one in each of Odisha, Gujarat, and Rajasthan, among other places.
According to a formal announcement, Ashwini Vaishnaw, the minister of the Union Railways, would also take part in the inaugural ceremony.
