Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav stated that the Gwalior-Chambal region has been gifted with a major rail facility, enabling residents to travel directly to Bengaluru from Gwalior by train. This is a special gift for the youth. The weekly Gwalior–Bengaluru train will significantly benefit students pursuing education in the IT sector.
CM Dr. Yadav virtually inaugurated the new train service from Jabalpur on Thursday. Union Railway Minister Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw also joined the event virtually. The formal ceremony in Gwalior was attended by Union Minister for Communications and Development of North Eastern Region Shri Jyotiraditya Scindia, Speaker of the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly Shri Narendra Singh Tomar, Energy Minister Shri Pradyuman Singh Tomar senior public representatives, railway officials, and a large number of citizens.
The Chief Minister stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, Madhya Pradesh has received numerous railway development projects. Around 80 railway stations in the state, including Gwalior, are being renovated. He added that the initiative for improved rail connectivity in the Gwalior region began during the tenure of the late Union Minister Shri Madhavrao Scindia, and the new Gwalior-Bengaluru train continues that legacy.
