"Fantastic sir, in the same way please start #SouthCoastRailway operations from @VisakhapatnamJn as promised by you to make the new zone operational within 11 months, which is a dream of north Andhra Pradesh that you granted. Start the operations, sir," pleaded one user.

"Work is going on at double the speed. For this, thanks to Modi ji and thanks to Piyush Goyal ji," read one post.

"Wow! This is huge Kashmir's dream of development to be fulfilled by @narendramodi government. Kudos to you, sir," read another tweet.

One user commented: "Sir, I have only one request. Train should be run on schedule... Late arrival and departure of trains has bad effect on our image."

"I'm very happy with this project will finally see more trains in the valley and also be beneficial for armed forces to report for duty without harassment," said one user.
