PM Modi Flags Off 6 New Vande Bharat Trains, Strengthening Rail Network in Eastern India
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to flag off six new Vande Bharat Express trains today from Tatanagar, Jharkhand. Ahead of his visit, PM Modi reiterated his government’s dedication to accelerating the development of Jharkhand.
In a post on the social media platform X (Twitter), the Prime Minister expressed his commitment, saying, “We are determined to ensure the rapid development of Jharkhand. This morning at around 10 a.m., I will have the privilege of flagging off six Vande Bharat trains from Tatanagar and inaugurating and laying the foundation for several other projects. I will also participate in an event related to the PM Awas Yojana-Gramin for beneficiaries.”
During his visit to Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, PM Modi will not only flag off the Vande Bharat trains but also inaugurate and lay the foundation for various development projects worth ₹21,000 crore. These initiatives are expected to significantly boost the state’s infrastructure, connectivity, and welfare schemes.
New Vande Bharat Trains to Enhance Connectivity
The six new Vande Bharat trains flagged off by PM Modi will serve key routes, enhancing rail connectivity across eastern India. The trains will operate on the following routes:

Following this, a grand roadshow is scheduled, where PM Modi will interact with the people, reaffirming his commitment to their welfare and the state’s overall development.
Security Arrangements in Place
Security has been tightened ahead of PM Modi’s visit, with over 3,000 police personnel and officers deployed to ensure the Prime Minister’s safety. He is expected to spend approximately six hours in Jharkhand during this visit.
