NEW DELHI: Installation of entertainment through Public Address Systems in trains will be operated by selected licensees, through commercial advertisements. As a result, this will not involve any expense, the minister of state for railways Rajen Gohain said.

As announced by the railway minister Suresh Prabhu, the train-borne services are being provided in the Railway Budget 2016-17. However, luxury trains such as the Shatabdi have been playing pre-recorded music in trains for the past few years on the public address system.
