क्या आप जानते हैं कि भारत में एक AC ट्रेन की शुरुआत 1 सितंबर 1928 को हुई थी जिसका नाम था- पंजाब मेल और 1934 में इस ट्रेन में AC कोच जोड़े गए और इसका नाम फ्रंटियर मेल रख दिया गया.
उस समय में ट्रेनों को फर्स्ट और सेकेंड क्लास में बांटा गया था, फर्स्ट क्लास में केवल अंग्रेजों को सफर करने की अनुमति थी। इसी कारण इसे ठंडा रखने के लिए AC बोगी में बदला गया था। अंग्रेजों ने अपनी सुविधा के लिए ये सिस्टम बनाया था, जिसमें AC की जगह पर बर्फ की सिल्लियों का इस्तेमाल किया जाता था, जो फ्लोर के नीचे रखी जाती थी.
यह ट्रेन 1 सितंबर, 1928 को मुंबई के बैलार्ड पियर स्टेशन से दिल्ली, बठिंडा, फिरोजपुर और लाहौर होते हुए पेशावर (अब पाकिस्तान में) तक शुरू हुई थी, लेकिन मार्च 1930 में इसे सहारनपुर, अंबाला , अमृतसर और लाहौर की ओर मोड़ दिया गया। इसमें पहले बर्फ की सिल्लियों का इस्तेमाल करके बोगी को ठंडा रखने का काम नहीं किया जाता था, लेकिन बाद इसमें AC वाला सिस्टम जोड़ दिया गया. इस ट्रेन का नाम फ्रंटियर मेल था, जो बाद यानी 1996 में गोल्डन टेम्पल मेल के नाम से संचालित की जाने लगी।
फ्रंटियर मेल को ब्रिटीश काल की सबसे लग्जरी ट्रेनों में से एक कहा जाता था। पहले यह भाप से 60 किमी की रफ्तार से चलती थी, लेकिन अब इसे इलेक्ट्रिक से चलाया जाता है. टाइम्स ऑफ इंडिया के मुताबिक, यह ट्रेन 1,893 किमी की दूरी तय करती है, 35 रेलवे स्टेशनों पर रुकती है और अपने 24 डिब्बों में लगभग 1,300 यात्रियों को ले जाती है। यह टेलीग्राम ले जाने और लेकर आने के लिए भी चलाई जाती थी. इस ट्रेन को करीब 95 साल हो चुके हैं।

Agniveer Amritpal Singh died by suicide, no military honours as per rule: Army

The Indian Army on Sunday said that military honours were not extended to Agniveer Amritpal Singh's funeral as deaths arising out of self-inflicted injuries are not given such honours.

The Indian Army on Sunday said Agniveer Amritpal Singh committed suicide by shooting himself while on sentry duty and that military honours were not extended to his funeral as deaths arising out of self-inflicted injuries are not given such honours.

The Army asserted that it does not differentiate between soldiers based on whether they joined the force prior to or after the implementation of the Agnipath scheme.

There were allegations that military honours were not extended to Singh's funeral as he was an Agniveer soldier.

The Army's Nagrota-headquartered White Knight Corps on Saturday said that Singh died while on sentry duty in the Rajouri sector due to a self-inflicted gunshot injury.

In a statement on Sunday night, the Army said there had been some "misunderstanding and misrepresentation" of facts related to the unfortunate death of Singh.

"It is a grave loss to the family and the Indian Army that Agniveer Amritpal Singh committed suicide by shooting himself while on sentry duty," the Army said.

"In consonance with the existing practice, the mortal remains, after the conduct of medico-legal procedures, were transported under Army arrangements along with an escort party to his native place for the last rites," it said.

The Army said the Armed Forces do not differentiate between the soldiers who joined prior to or after the implementation of the Agnipath scheme as regards entitled benefits and protocols.

"Unfortunate instances of death arising out of suicide/self-inflicted injury, irrespective of the type of entry, are accorded due respect by the Armed Forces along with deep and enduring empathy with the family," it said.

"Such cases, however, are not entitled to military funerals as per the extant Army Order of 1967, in vogue. Policy on the subject has been consistently followed ever since, without any discrimination," it said.

"As per data held, there has been an average yearly loss ranging between 100-140 soldiers since 2001 where deaths occurred due to suicides/self-inflicted injuries, and a military funeral in such cases was not accorded," the Army said.

It said the disbursement of financial assistance and relief as per entitlement is given due priority, including immediate financial relief for conducting funerals.

"Such unfortunate instances of loss bear heavy on the family and the Forces as a fraternity. During such times, it is important and incumbent on society to uphold the respect, privacy and dignity of the family while empathising with them in their moment of grief," the Army said.

"Armed Forces are known for adherence to the policies and protocols and will continue to do so as hithertofore. The Indian Army requests support of all sections of society while it follows its established protocols," it said.
