The Indian Railways will introduce a new train, Mother Express, named after Mother Teresa on August
26 to mark her birth centenary.
"We have decided to launch the new train after Mother Teresa as a tribute to her on occasion of her birth centenary," Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee said here Monday.
Banerjee said that the coaches of the train would be painted in blue, the trademark border of the habit worn by the order she founded.
The route of the train would be announced later, but it would touch important destinations in the country, she said.
