India's Vivek Express, 4,233 km long from Dibrugarh to Kanyakumari, is India's longest train journey, covering a distance of about 80 hours through nine states. This long journey offers tourists a view of India's diverse landscape and culture, hence making it a unique travel experience. To compare, Pakistan's ML-1, the longest railway line of the country, stretches 1,872 km from Karachi to Peshawar. Shorter in distance but equally crucial for Pakistan's communication and logistics infrastructure, ML-1 carries over 75% of the country's freight and passengers. The upgraded line has sophisticated signaling equipment and global safety standards. Though Vivek Express travels more distance and duration than ML-1, both paths equally serve their respective nations' connectivity and heritage. Source: Current Affairs Adda247, Wikipedia
