AC Trains To Have Operation Theatre-Like Fresh Air Pumped Into Coaches

The Railways' air conditioned trains will now have operation theatre-like fresh air pumped into its coaches, replacing the circulated air which raises the chances of spread of infections, officials have said. The experiment was started with 15 pairs of air conditioned trains being run by the Railways on the Rajdhani routes.

"The Roof Mounted AC Package Unit (RMPU) system of Indian Railways AC coaches replaces air more than 16-18 times per hour just like in OTs," officials said.
