NEW DELHI: The time when the first bullet train will run in India is not far, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday as he underlined the "rising" demand for high-speed trains from across the country and the sector's "historic transformation" under his government.
Launching a slew of rail projects, including inauguration of the Jammu and Rayagada divisions, Modi said the railways had undergone a historic transformation in the past decade.
It has led to a change in India's image and a boost in people's morale, he said in a video address, with the chief ministers of Telangana, Odisha, and Jammu and Kashmir, besides other dignitaries, joining the programme from their respective states.
