Railways to launch special train to promote CWG

A special exhibition train will promote Commonwealth Games across the country and is likely to be flagged-off from New Delhi by the month end.

Railway Ministry officials say the train will travel to each state and have stoppages at selected stations across 16 zones in the country.

The colourful train carrying detailed exhibits of Commonwealth Games and use of information technology in Railways will be a special attraction for the people.

Besides, the Railways will sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Commonwealth Games Organising Committee in this regard.

The train will be painted with the Commonwealth Games logo along with that of Indian Railways.

Indian Railways is a lead partner for the Commonwealth Games scheduled here between 3rd-14th October.

The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, an enterprise under Railway Board has already been chosen to sell Games tickets. (SS-09/06)
