Vande Bharat Express sought between Tiruchi and Bengaluru

The Tiruchi Railway Division has requested the Southern Railway headquarters to introduce a day time Vande Bharat Express train between Tiruchi and Bengaluru, Divisional Railway Manager M.S. Anbalagan said on Sunday.

The request was made recently with the timings fixed in such a way that the train leaves Tiruchi Junction in the morning and returns the same evening, Mr. Anbalagan said.

Mr. Anbalagan told presspersons that Tiruchi Railway Junction had been identified as one of the 50 stations in the country for the establishment of the Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Kendra (PMBJK) outlets as a pilot project. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually dedicate to the nation the outlets at the identified stations, including Tiruchi Junction, on March 12.
