Hyderabad: The rail connectivity between the two Telugu States has received a further fillip. Indian Railways have planned to introduce the second Vande Bharat Express between Secunderabad and Visakhapatnam, as well as the fourth Vande Bharat Express from Telangana. These trains are set to commence commercial operations from March 13. In this regard, the inaugural train service will be virtually flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Secunderabad station.

Booking for this service will open on March 12, and the train's regular service will commence from March 13.
