More than 50 Amrit Bharat trains would be rolled out to facilitate the common man, which would have non-AC sleepers, said MoS Ravneet Bittu at the Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala today.

He said the RCF would make five Amrit Bharat rakes with 22 coaches this year.

He said “Vande Bharat” and “Vande Metro” train sets were also being manufactured at the RCF. The first “Vande Metro” rake with 16 coaches would be flagged off shortly.

The MoS added that two rakes of “Vande Bharat” would also be manufactured this year. Bittu pointed out that 30 narrow-gauge coaches having “Vistadome” would be rolled out for the Kalka-Shimla route soon.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
