Anti-collision device Kavach to be installed in trains next year: Railways
The Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) or Kavach, which was rolled out for trials last year, is likely to be installed in trains next year, Ministry of Railways spokesperson Amitabh Sharma informed on Saturday.
The remark assumes significance in light of the horrific triple train accident in Odisha’s Balasore on Friday evening, which claimed the lives of close to 300 passengers while leaving 900 injured.
The Railways spokesperson said the technology had been rolled out nationwide and has also been sanctioned for use in several railway lines.
