Indian Railways is working on a mission mode to achieve the ‘Mission 100% Electrification - Moving towards net Zero Carbon Emission’ plan. In June last year, the railways had said that the network’s electrification, which is environment friendly and reduces pollution, has increased nearly ten times since 2014.
This step of the railways is very good in saving the environment and it’ll be an environment-friendly step. Therefore, book your tickets.
