RAJYA SABHA

The Government (Ministry of Railways) have not drafted any scheme to provide telephones, Doordarshan or Television Channels in trains. However, on few Rajdhani and Shatabdi Express trains, telephone services have been provided either through Cellular Service Providers or through Satellite phones.

This information was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Bandaru Dattatraya in a written reply to a question from Smt. Savita Sharda in the Rajya Sabha today.
