Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has chosen the iconic Mumbai-Pune Deccan Queen train for his first railway programme and will visit CSMT today to get a vinyl wrapping done on the train of Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation's (MTDC) Bodhalkasa hill resort.

To the question why Bodhalkasa resort in Gondia is being marketed so aggressively, MTDC managing director, Abhimanyu Kale, said, "First and foremost, this is the latest in the line of hill resorts that MTDC offers and, secondly, this is an effort to encourage and promote bird watching. Bodhalkasa is one place where birds from many species can be watched across seasons, every single month of the year."
