New Lifeline Express Train Inaugurated
The Minister said that Lifeline Express, with its successful mission to provide medical facilities to the poor people of far-flung areas, has now been included in the school syllabus of the Central Board of Secondary Education. He said that the new Lifeline Express Train would remain for display for four days at National Rail Museum, Chanakayapuri, New Delhi for public, especially for school children to know more about this train. To launch a countrywide awareness campaign to control the spread of the most deadly disease ‘AIDS’, Shri Lalu Prasad announced that Indian Railways is planning to introduce another similar train ‘Red Ribbon Express’ in cooperation with National Aids Control Organisation (NACO).
Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Chairperson, United Progressive Alliance and Chairperson, Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, while inaugurating new state-of-the-art Lifeline Express, commended the noble project by Lifeline Express and expressed her gratitude to the Indian Railways for supporting the venture. The new hospital train consists of main operation theatre with three operating tables for conducting all free of cost surgeries like cataract, squints, micro surgeries of the inner ear, correction of cleft lip and orthopedic surgeries for deformed limbs. It has another self-contained operation theatre with two operating tables and four recovery beds and also an ophthalmic testing room, laboratory, X-Ray etc. The new coaches are designed and manufactured by Integral Coach Factory, Perambur with the cost of Rs. five crore approximately.
