New Delhi: Taking a big step towards clean and modern transportation, Indian Railways has started the country’s first hydrogen train for common passengers.

This train, considered environment friendly, will not only give a new experience to the passengers, but will also prove to be a big achievement for the Railways.

According to Railways, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will flag off this train from Jind at 11 am on Friday.
