PM Modi to flag off 3 Vande Bharat trains, inaugurate Bengaluru Metro Yellow Line today
Bengaluru, Aug 10 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi will today flag off three new Vande Bharat Express trains from Bengaluru's KSR Railway Station at 11:00 a.m., further accelerating the expansion of India's high-speed rail network. The highlight of the ceremony will be the Bengaluru–Belagavi Vande Bharat Express, Karnataka's 11th such service, alongside the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra–Amritsar and Ajni (Nagpur)–Pune trains, which will be inaugurated virtually. Covering the 611-km Bengaluru–Belagavi stretch in just 8.5 hours, the new service will cut travel time by about 1 hour 20 minutes on the onward journey and 1 hour 40 minutes on the return. The route links Bengaluru's technology hub with Belagavi, home to leading medical and engineering institutions, and passes through Dharwad, Hubballi, Haveri, Davangere, and Tumakuru. Officials say the train will benefit students, professionals, farmers, and traders while boosting regional economic growth. Following the launch, a special inaugural service (Train No. 06575) will depart from KSR Bengaluru at 11:15 a.m. and arrive in Belagavi at 8:00 p.m., making stops at Yesvantpur, Tumakuru, Davangere, SMM Haveri, SSS Hubballi, and Dharwad. Later, at around 1 pm, the Prime Minister will inaugurate the Yellow Line of the Bangalore Metro's Phase-2 project from RV Road (Ragigudda) to Bommasandra, covering over 19 km with 16 stations at a cost of Rs 7,160 crore. With this addition, the operational metro network in Bengaluru will expand to over 96 km. He will also lay the foundation stone for the Bangalore Metro Phase-3 project, worth over Rs 15,610 crore, which will add more than 44 km of elevated tracks across 31 stations. The expansion aims to serve Bengaluru's growing residential, industrial, commercial, and educational hubs. UNI SQ AAB

Karnataka gets ninefold hike in rail budget since 2014: Vaishnaw
Bengaluru, Aug 10 (UNI) Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw today said that railway infrastructure investment in Karnataka has grown nearly ninefold since Prime Minister Narendra Modi assumed office, marking what he called an "unprecedented transformation in the state's connectivity". Speaking ahead of Prime Minister Modi's flag-off of three new Vande Bharat Express trains, including the long-awaited Bengaluru–Belagavi service, Vaishnaw noted that Karnataka's annual average railway allocation before 2014 was just Rs 835 crore, whereas in the 2025–26 financial year it stands at Rs 7,564 crore. 'Right now, our total investment in Karnataka's railway network is of the order of Rs 54,000 crore,' he said, adding that 61 stations are being rebuilt under the Amrit Bharat Station Program, 123 flyovers and underpasses are under construction, and electrification works are progressing rapidly. Calling the launch of the Bengaluru–Belagavi Vande Bharat a 'long-pending demand of the people,' Vaishnaw said the train would significantly improve connectivity between North Karnataka and Bengaluru, India's IT capital. Two more Vande Bharat trains will also be flagged off: the Amritsar–Sri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra and the Nagpur (Ajni)–Pune routes. Vaishnaw further highlighted the success of the Amrit Bharat Express, describing it as a low-fare alternative to the Vande Bharat with nearly the same features, aimed at benefiting low-income and lower-middle-income families. He also pointed to the popularity of the recently launched 'Mobile Train' services, saying passenger feedback has been 'highly appreciative.' The minister inspected the Krantiveera Sangolli Rayanna Railway Station in Bengaluru to review arrangements for the Prime Minister's visit and the high-profile launch event.

Kerala aims to become Carbon neutral by 2050: CM
Thiruvananthapuram, Aug 10 (UNI) Kerala aims to become carbon neutral by 2050, and the Green Budget 2025 of the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation, introduced as part of sustainable development initiatives, is a major step towards achieving this goal, said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. 'Thiruvananthapuram has become the first city in Kerala to implement a Green Budget. The budget outlines activities in the city aimed at limiting carbon emissions, serving as a model for other local bodies,' the CM said. He was speaking after inaugurating the seed ball manufacturing project implemented by the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation and launching the Green Budget 2025 at Putharikandam Maidan yesterday. The Chief Minister said discussions on climate change and natural disasters are taking place across the world. However, there is still no global consensus on combating climate change. 'Even at the UN Climate Change Conference, no clear guidelines were formulated. Instead of waiting for such global agreements, we are moving ahead with our own actions,' he added. He stated that incentives are being provided for electric vehicles, along with the promotion of green hydrogen hubs and renewable energy sources. The Corporation's work to make Thiruvananthapuram a solar city is commendable. As part of this, solar panels are being installed on government office buildings at a cost of ₹125 crore. Electric buses are being purchased, and the Corporation has procured and distributed 100 electric autorickshaws. Such initiatives will help Thiruvananthapuram become one of the fastest-developing cities, he said. The seed ball campaign had planned to involve 6,000 students, but an additional 1,000 students joined. The seed balls they prepared will be planted in office premises and barren lands under the 'Green Trivandrum' concept. By depositing four lakh seed balls across various parts of the city, large-scale tree growth can be encouraged. The Chief Minister expressed confidence that such activities to tackle environmental challenges would also help create significant eco-friendly awareness. UNI DS RKM
