Statue of unity, Statue by Ram V. Sutar

The improved connectivity to Kevadiya will not only be beneficial for tourists coming to see the Statue of Unity but also help in changing the lives of the tribal community there, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday.Addressing the ceremony after he flagged off eight trains connecting different regions of the country to Kevadiya, Prime Minister said now more tourists coming to see the Statue of Unity than the Statue of Liberty."This connectivity will be beneficial for tourists coming to see the Statue of Unity but it will also help in changing the lives of the tribal community of Kevadiya. It will bring new opportunities for job and self-employment,' he said.PM Modi noted that it is probably for the first time in the history of railways that so many trains have been flagged for the same place from different corners of the country."The identity of Kevadiya is from the world's tallest statue of Sardar Patel, who gave the mantra of one nation, best nation (Ek Bharat-Shreshtha Bharat)... After the inauguration, nearly 50 lakh people have come to see the Statue of Unity," he added.The eight trains started for Kevadiya aim to facilitate seamless connectivity to the Statue of Unity in Gujarat.Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rup and Union Railways Minister Piyush Goyal were also present on the occasion.The trains flagged off include 09103/04 Kevadiya-Varanasi Mahamana Express (Weekly), 02927/28 Dadar-Kevadiya Express (Daily), 09247/48 Ahmedabad-Kevadiya Janshatabdi Express (Daily), 09145/46 Nizamuddin - Kevadia Sampark Kranti Express (Bi-Weekly), 09105/06 Kevadia - Rewa Express (Weekly), 09119/20 Chennai - Kevadia Express (Weekly), 09107/08 Pratapnagar-Kevadia MEMU train (Daily) and 09109/10 Kevadiya-Pratapnagar MEMU train (Daily).( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
