Stone pelting on India’s first hydrogen train: Indian Railways has issued a clarification after a video went viral on social media claiming that a stone-pelting incident had taken place on the country’s first hydrogen train. Flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 17, the train is operating between Jind and Sonipat in Haryana. The 89-km-long section is a part of Northern Railway’s Delhi Division.
In a statement, Northern Railway said the viral video is an old video and clarified that the train seen in the footage is not a hydrogen train. According to the railway zone, the train shown in the video is operated by a WAG-12 locomotive. It further said that the hydrogen train is running as per its scheduled timetable.
“The train shown in the video is not a hydrogen train… it is a train operated by the WAG 12 loco. It is probably some old video. The hydrogen train is providing its services as per its scheduled time,” the zonal railway said.
Is Arvind Kejriwal’s father’s money invested in this Hydrogen train? Or Deepak’s father’s?
No Neither the politicians nor the stone pelters paid for it
It is funded by the common man’s hard earned taxes Stop throwing stones at your own property
Vandalism brings up to life…
