Plan to reduce the distance of this Vande India
CM Fadnavis said, “Thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for starting this train. With this we have also demanded that this train goes from Ahalyanagar to Daund and then to Pune. Due to the dear, the distance increases by more than 100 kilometers. So a route from Ahalyanagar to Pune will also benefit, which will also benefit MIDC.”
The Chief Minister further said, “Apart from this, we have also offered that the new Expressway which is being built on the route of Sambhajinagar-Halyanagar-Pune, by giving additional right-offs, is able to accommodate it with the railway, then it will be intensified. Railways will get dynamics and will be able to play an hour.”
