Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to visit Karnataka on June 26 to launch the Vande Bharat Express between Bengaluru and Hubballi – Dharwad, reported Money Control. The official announcement from the Prime Minister Office is awaited, but if confirmed this will be PM Modi’s first visit to the southern state after the assembly election campaign.
According to the report, the Vande Bharat Express between Bengaluru and Hubballi – Dharwad will be operated on all days, except Tuesdays. The train service will begin from Yeswantpur railway station in Bengaluru and it will stop only at Davangere in the route. The travel time between Bengaluru and Hubballi -Dharwad in Vande Bharat train is said to be roughly seven hours, which otherwise takes nine to ten hours in other trains. This is the second Vande Bharat Express for Karnataka, after the Chennai – Bengaluru – Mysuru train which was launched in November last year by the Prime Minister. It was the first Vande Bharat Express for southern India.
