Narendra Modi flagged off two new Amrit Bharat Express trains—Varanasi to Pune (Hadapsar) and Ayodhya to Mumbai (Lokmanya Tilak Terminus)—to strengthen rail connectivity between Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra.
This move is especially significant for Uttar Pradesh, as key pilgrimage cities like Varanasi and Ayodhya attract millions of devotees, and improved links to major hubs like Mumbai and Pune are expected to boost tourism.
