Bhubaneswar/New Delhi: Union ministers Ashwini Vaishnaw, Dharmendra Pradhan, and G. Kishan Reddy Wednesday flagged off the Shri Jagannath Yatra tourist train from Delhi’s Safdarjung Railway Station.

The Bharat Gaurav train started its journey with 528 tourists and will cover some of the prominent pilgrimage and heritage destinations in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha.

Speaking on the occasion, Education Minister Pradhan said that the train fulfills the Prime Minister’s vision to enable common citizens of the country to travel within India, particularly to the pilgrimage sites.

He said that high-quality facilities are being provided to the passengers, including accommodation, food, and local transportation.

Such initiatives will not only provide opportunities for the people to be aware of the rich Indian cultural heritage but also provide employment to many, Pradhan said.

Railway Minister Vaishnaw said that eight such pilgrim circuits have already become operational, giving an opportunity the believers to expose themselves to Indian culture.

India has a very large number of tourist destinations, and the Prime Minister has been guiding his ministry to provide easy access, suitable amenities, and proper information to the people for tapping them properly, Vaishnaw said.

Reddy said that lakhs of Indians want to visit religious places but are not able to do so due to a lack of convenience and affordability.

Today’s initiative, coinciding with tourism day and voters’ day, will go a long way in promoting domestic tourism, particularly among the common people of the country, said the Tourism Minister.

The train embarked on its journey on the 8-day tour wherein tourists will visit the Jagannath temple in Puri, one among the Char Dhams of India.

Visits to Varanasi, Baidyanath Dham, Konark, and Gaya have added attractions to the tour. The train will return to Delhi on February 1.

Freshly-cooked vegetarian meals will be served on board the train to the guests from the well-equipped modern pantry car.

The train has also been fitted with an infotainment system for the entertainment of the passengers as well as for public announcements.
