Indian Railways clarifies viral video of hydrogen train
A video went viral on social media showing a train being pelted with stones.
People thought it was India's first hydrogen train, which was recently launched by the Prime Minister.
However, Indian Railways said the video is old and shows a different train, not the hydrogen one.
The hydrogen train is still running on its usual route between Jind and Sonipat in Haryana.
The railway authorities wanted to clear up the confusion and assure everyone that the hydrogen train is safe and running as planned.
A viral video claimed a stone-pelting incident on India's first hydrogen train.
Indian Railways clarified the video is old and not related to the hydrogen train.
The hydrogen train operates between Jind and Sonipat in Haryana.
The train was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on July 17.
The viral video shows a WAG-12 locomotive, not the hydrogen train.
