Indian Railways Replaces AC Coach Window Curtains With Roller Blinds

The Indian Railways has announced to replace the window curtains with roller blinds in all the air-conditioned cars. Earlier, a 2018 committee had advised to remove the curtains, citing they spread fire easily. However, on passengers’ complaint, the Railways had then decided to install Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystals to curb the sunniness. Since the use of PDLC on mass scale would be expensive, the authorities have opted for roller blinds.
