Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has virtually flagged off nine new Vande Bharat trains that are expected to improve rail connectivity to religious and tourist destinations across 11 states. These trains will be the fastest on their respective routes, significantly reducing travel times. The routes include Udaipur-Jaipur, Tirunelveli-Madurai-Chennai, Hyderabad-Bengaluru, and Patna-Howrah, among others.
