The inauguration of the two Vande Bharat trains by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj terminus was special not only for people of the city but many others too. The two trains signify confluence of faith and progress and will run between Mumbai and Solapur and Mumbai and Sainagar Shirdi.

Before flagging off the trains, PM Modi entered one of the compartments and met school children. One of them, a girl, recited a poem which the PM enjoyed and applauded along with others.
