Along with this, he virtually launched three more Vande Bharat trains: Firozpur–Delhi, Lucknow–Saharanpur, and Ernakulam–Bengaluru, giving the nation four new semihigh-speed trains in one go. Speaking at the event, the Prime Minister said that Vande Bharat, Namo Bharat, and Amrit Bharat trains are laying the foundation for the next generation of Indian Railways. “This is not just about running new trains; it is a campaign to transform Indian Railways. Vande Bharat is a train made by Indians, for Indians, and every Indian feels proud of it,” Modi said. He added that infrastructure has been a key driver of growth in developed nations. “The strength behind the rapid progress of developed countries lies in their robust infrastructure. India, too, is now moving rapidly in that direction,” the Prime Minister said. Highlighting the spiritual and cultural connection of the new route, Modi said India’s pilgrimage sites have always been a reflection of the nation’s collective consciousness. “These journeys are not only about visiting deities but also about connecting with the soul of India. When pilgrimage destinations like Prayagraj, Ayodhya, Haridwar, Chitrakoot, and Kurukshetra are linked through the Vande Bharat network, it strengthens the bond between faith, culture, and development,” he said. 4Continued on | P8
