Merely a month ago, former railway minister Suresh Prabhu launched India’s first solar-powered train, which runs from Sarai Rohilla in Delhi to Farukh Nagar in Haryana. However, the train’s solar panels are under safety threat from the villagers.
Branded as the solar-powered train, its six out of 10 coaches are fitted with solar panels on the rooftop to convert solar energy into electricity to run fans and bulbs.
The railways has raised its concern with the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and asked for additional security forces to protect these panels.
