Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived at Ahmedabad airport on Sunday evening, his first visit to his home state after being sworn in as PM for a third straight term in June. He will flag off country's first 'Vande Metro' service between Bhuj and Ahmedabad besides several other Vande Bharat trains today.
All About Vande Bharat Metro
The fully air-conditioned train, designed to connect cities within a 150 km range, will run between Ahmedabad and Bhuj. The Western Railway's Ahmedabad division successfully conducted a trial run earlier this week, preparing for PM Modi's official flag-off on September 15.
This Vande Bharat Metro is a historic addition to the Indian Railways network as the first metro service designed for medium-distance travel.
