Ahead of the enforcement of the model code of conduct for Lok Sabha elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday flagged off and laid foundation stones for projects worth 1.06 trillion in Gujarat, including railway projects worth ₹85,000 crore.
The railway projects flagged off include 10 new Vande Bharat train services a focus area for the Centre in the past two to three years, with close to 400 new trainsets in the offing.
The new Vande Bharat trains will ply between Ahmedabad-Mumbai Central, Secunderabad-Visakhapatnam, Mysuru-Chennai, Patna Lucknow, New Jalpaiguri-Patna, Puri-Visakhapatnam, Lucknow-Dehradun, Kalaburagi-Sir M Visvesvaraya Terminal (Bengaluru), Ranchi Varanasi, and Khajuraho Nizamuddin (New Delhi).
