While following the trucks, MiD DAY also noticed that two children were sitting on the truck outside and dozing off to sleep.
Asking about the danger of the children sitting on the truck, Imran Khan, the supervisor, said, "We are driving slowly because of the engines on board.
The boys are perfectly safe and are sitting there to balance the weight of the truck. Nothing will happen to them."
Built at Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML), the trucks carrying the metro engines and coaches will reach New Delhi in 20 days.
