Two grandiose designs of India’s infrastructural beauty are picturesquely crossing at a point that calls spade a spade, how the rail and road of the country has taken new heights. The video, shot by a drone in Karnataka, magnificently shows the ‘raftar’ of the MGR Chennai-Mysuru Vande Bharat Express train and the ‘Pragati’ of highway development simultaneously.
On the one hand, the nation’s first semi-high-speed train is zooming past with all majesty, on the other hand a 10-lane Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway showcases the significant road connectivity in the country.
The video spans 21 seconds but it envisages the vision and mission of incredible India for the next 21 years: how India is steadfastly running on the fast track of development.
Sharing the video on Twitter, Karnataka Health Minister Dr Sudhakar K said, “10-lane Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway and Vande Bharat Express in one frame! Double Engine BJP Govts at the Centre and in Karnataka have delivered next-generation infrastructure at a scale & speed that is unprecedented.”
