Railways Minister Suresh Prabhu launched train services from Mumbai's Bandra to Mahuva and Veraval in Gujarat today, acceding to the growing demand of Somnath pilgrims and farmers of the Suarashtra region.
Veraval-Bandra Superfast Express and Mahuva-Bandra Superfast Express were flagged off by Prabhu, along with senior officials, from here through video-conferencing.
