Report this page for using the wrong picture to stereotype conditions in india
Was easy to get authentic pictures
These are the photos of those train coaches. It was not hard to find CNA.
Agree , should not use such irritating pictures , so sorry to see that
Why this picture? FYI it is not a train coach and not the one to use as isolation ward. Indian railways has hospital train as well. Check out Lifeline Express
I think the international community should help
Who is your foolish editor . The photo u have attached is of a container truck not a train coach. Shameful your editing team doesnt know what is a train coach.
