Vande Bharat News: The central government has sanctioned a new Vande Bharat train from Ernakulam (Kochi) to Bengaluru, BJP State President Rajeev Chandrasekhar said on Wednesday. The train will pass via Thrissur and Palakkad, he added. In a Facebook post, he expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
When will Ernakulam-Bengaluru Vande Bharat Express start?
The service is expected to start by mid-November, Chandrasekhar said, adding that Bengaluru is a city where a large number of Keralites are employed, including in the IT sector. Chandrasekhar stated that there has been a demand for more trains from Kerala to Bengaluru for a long time. “Thank you, Modi! Gratitude to the central government for approving a Vande Bharat train from Ernakulam to Bengaluru via Thrissur and Palakkad,” he wrote.
Chandrasekhar pointed out that the demand for more trains on the route has been going on for a long time and that he had raised the issue with the railway minister a month ago. “We express our gratitude to him for making such a quick decision.” The former Union Minister said the new service would be a “huge relief for Keralites in Bengaluru” and once again thanked the Center for a decision taken “keeping in mind the overall development of Kerala”.
