New Delhi, Sep 15 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday virtually flagged off six Vande Bharat trains from Jharkhand’s Tatanagar due to bad weather preventing his physical presence at the location.

PM Modi also inaugurated and laid the foundation stone for various development projects in Jharkhand worth Rs 21,000 crore.

“The rail connectivity in this region will boost the economy, and businessmen and students will benefit significantly, promoting both economic and cultural activities,” he said.
