Union Home Minister Amit Shah flagged off India's first LNG-powered train from Sabarmati, Gujarat, introducing a diesel-LNG dual-fuel system aimed at reducing diesel consumption by nearly 40% and lowering emissions. The launch was part of railway projects worth over Rs 1,542 crore, including the Kavach safety system, WAG-12 locomotive maintenance shed, automatic signalling, and line doubling. Shah highlighted railway electrification progress and credited Prime Minister Modi's initiatives, while criticizing the Congress party's past governance. The LNG train marks a step toward cleaner, more efficient rail operations.
