Bhopal: Crossing another crucial connectivity milestone, Prime Minister Narendra Modi gifted five more Vande Bharat trains to the nation on Tuesday.

The visiting dignitary flagged off the Bhopal-Indore train at the Madhya Pradesh capital’s Rani Kamalapati Station. Prior to that, the senior leader even briefly boarded the train and interacted for duration of approximately ten minutes with schoolchildren, viewed the contextual paintings created by the latter and provided guidance to the pupils.

It was officially learnt that the other trains will ply between here and Jabalpur, Ranchi-Patna, Dharwad-Bengaluru and Goa-Mumbai. These are the maiden such trains for the states of Goa, Bihar and Jharkhand.
