Thiruvananthapuram-Mangaluru Vande Bharat may get more coaches by Onam: Kerala BJP chief

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State chief Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Friday said one of the two Vande Bharat trains running in the State might get more coaches as early as Onam.

The Railway Board has decided to upgrade the number of coaches in the Mangaluru Central to Thiruvananthapuram Central Vande Bharat from 16 to 20.

Welcoming the upgrade, Mr. Chandrasekhar in a Facebook post said that the additional coaches will significantly ease the burden on commuters and make travel more comfortable and convenient.

The BJP chief further said in his post that while others make empty promises, it is the Narendra Modi government which is “delivering real development for Kerala, strengthening our railways, expanding our roads, and modernising our ports”.
