Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat has expressed gratitude to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Railway Minister Piyush Goyal for gifting Naini-Doon Janshatabdi Express to Uttarakhand. Though CM was scheduled to be present at the flag-off programme bad weather forced him to cancel his plan.
In a message, CM termed the train as a Raksha Bandhan gift from the Centre to the State which was followed by other gifts like all-weather road and Rishikesh-Karnprayag rail project.
He, further, said that the newly introduced rail service apart from expanding connects between Garhwal and Kumaon regions would become the lifeline for the people of the State and boost tourism as well as business activities.
