Indian Railways is now looking to make passenger coaches with “anti-injury” fittings. The aim of the move is to avoid injuries caused due to sharp edges or protrusions in fittings inside Indian Railways’ passenger coaches in case of an untoward incident or even sudden braking or jerks, a source told TOI.
“For example, right now a coat hanger fitted inside a passenger coach is made of metal and can cause injury if a passenger’s head hits it in case of sudden jerks or an untoward incident,” the official said.
