RRTS Is Called “Namo Bharat” Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri declared on Thursday that PM Modi will name the RRTS trains “Namo Bharat” when they are inaugurated.
The first semi-high-speed regional rail service project in India is being carried out by the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), which dubbed the RRTS trains “RAPIDX” in April. The Union Minister of housing and Urban Affairs declared that RRTS trains will be dubbed “Namo Bharat” in a post on X that was posted in Hindi.
AI-Powered Baggage Scanning Device to Warn Security Personnel The baggage scanning system at the priority section stations of the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS Corridor is outfitted with artificial intelligence-powered technology, according to representatives of the National Capital Region Transportation Company (NCRTC). This technology will alert and assist security staff in identifying items that are restricted or prohibited.
A senior official stated, “The Uttar Pradesh government has given the Uttar Pradesh Special Security Force (UPSSF) responsibility for the security of all state stations, and the deployment of security force at the priority section’s stations has already been applied.”
In addition, the UP Police will send a dog squad, a bomb detection and disposal squad, and a quick reaction team to investigate and prevent crimes in stations.
The lounge for the premium class is one of the amenities in the modern RRTS trains. PM Modi is scheduled to launch RAPIDX, India’s first semi-high-speed regional rail service, on Friday. The trains will have a variety of passenger comforts and high-tech features.
Each RAPIDX train will have six coaches in total, including a premium coach. There is a special women’s carriage on every train; it’s the one next to the premium coach. There are serial numbers on the coach seats.
Extra amenities that are designed with commuters in mind are included in premium coaches. These include reclining chairs, coat hooks, magazine holders, and footrests.
They also have a separate color code for each seat and an opening for a vending machine in the future.
Platform screen doors, or PSDs, are installed at every RRTS station for added security. The signaling system and RRTS train doors are integrated with these PSDs.
When the train stops at a station, passengers will be able to board and exit using a push-button system on the doors, according to officials. According to officials, this action has been made in an effort to “save energy.”
