Meanwhile, the Supreme Court will hear the case on 10 September and may take it up from the High Court if needed. READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/picture><\/div>\n

From digital payments to speeding freight trains, PM Modi spoke of an India moving faster.<\/p>\n

At Mumbai\u2019s Global Fintech Fest, he called UPI a \u201ccivilisational story\u201d and said India must take it to more trading partners. In Vadodara, he highlighted 2,500 km of the Dedicated Freight Corridor, calling it the \u201clifeline\u201d of developed India.<\/p>\n

Taking a swipe at critics, Modi said one double-stack freight train can carry goods equal to 250 trucks, joking that the disgruntled \u201cFufaji\u201d would wonder what would happen to truck drivers. READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n
