President Ram Nath Kovind will visit Ayodhya on a special Indian Railways train on August 29. The first time President Kovind boarded the train was when he visited his hometown of Uttar Pradesh. That was important as it was the first time after the 15-year gap that the incumbent president had traveled by train. Former presidents, since independence in India, have used a special salon. This was cut off by the current president so that the money could be used for other expenses that could help the country.

Train details of President Kovid
A special train organized by the Indian Railways will have the office of Ram Nath Kovind. The train will have all the resources, like free WiFi among others. Indian trains have taken additional safety measures. The bill is set out in the President’s security plan and the steps must be strictly followed at all times. Apart from this, staff are hired to monitor the tracks and fall to the next level. Special monitoring is carried out in some sensitive areas in densely populated areas.

Some presidents have taken the train
India’s first president, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, used to travel by train. Earlier, in 2006, former President Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam was the last president to travel by train, when he traveled from Delhi to Dehradun in 2006 to attend an exhibition at the Indian Military Academy (IMA). Dr. Kalam’s train was a special salon; a chariot of coaches who favor the President. They were driven by an Indian railway. It was later declared irreparable in 2004.
