Hyderabad: Perhaps all roads lead to Ayodhya today. It may not be an exaggeration as Prime Minister Narendra Modi has arrived at the holy town amid a packed schedule. He was welcomed by Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath.
On one hand, he would be inaugurating the Maharishi Valmiki Airport, on the other, he will also unveil the revamped Ayodhya railway station. But what would steal the show is the launch of 2 Amrit Bharat and 6 Vande Bharat trains from Ayodhya.
Now for those oblivious, here's a lowdown on the basic differences between Amrit Bharat and Vande Bharat.
AMRIT BHARAT: Categorised under no-frills superfast express service, Amrit Bharat is a non-AC Sleeper and Unreserved Class service aimed serving long distances. These would usually traverse after Sunset and will be a bridge between Indian cities which are located at distances of over 800 km or in terms of time span - a distance that takes more than 10 hours under the current facilities available.
The trains are capable of running on very high speed however, owing to limitations on the way, the operating speed would be around 110–130 km per hour.
