Bhubaneswar: Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan flagged off the modern LHB rake of Bhubaneswar-Jagadalpur-Bhubaneswar Hirakhand Express at the railway station, here through video-conferencing on Friday.
Speaking on the occasion, Vaishnaw said during his recent visit to Odisha, he had travelled in Hirakhand Express and taken the feedback from the passengers about the rail services.
