Indian Railways is working towards achieving the government’s goal of Green Energy! In this direction, the electricity requirement of railway is being met from solar energy generated at Puratchi Thalaivar Dr. MG Ramachandran Central railway station in Chennai and Vijayawada railway station in Andhra Pradesh, according to the Railway Ministry. The move results in reduction of carbon emissions and environmental protection, it further stated. According to the Railway Ministry, 13 station buildings have been equipped with solar photovoltaic panels. These panels are capable to fulfil their 100% energy requirements.

According to the Railway Ministry, the solar panels are generating 130 kwp energy. With this, the national transporter is able to generate 2.2 lakh units of electricity every year. Besides, Indian Railways is able to save over Rs 16 lakh annually.

The inside wagering area contains the individual numbers about
the layout as the outside has boxes for columns in colors red or black
and odd or even numbers and in different category of figures.
Before the game begins, the dealer has to pay all the winners from the
previous spin and of course, clear off the losing bets.
