A train connecting Atal Bihari Vajpayee's ancestral village Bateshwar with Etawah was today flagged off, 16 years after the former prime minister had laid the foundation stone for this project.
The train was flagged off by Union Minister of State for railways Manoj Sinha and union MoS for human resources Ram Shankar Katheria this afternoon.
Sinha said that the government has made big investments for accelerated growth of the railway network and that the rail and goods traffic has increased substantially.
"In five years, the outlay will cross Rs 8 lakh crores," he said.
