HYDERABAD: Terming the indigenously developed Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system–‘Kavach’ as a phenomenal improvement in safety and a great contribution to accident prevention, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday said the technology will be implemented over entire rail network in the country and will also be exported to the world in the next coming years, even as he had a first hand experience of the collision aversion mechanism by being part of a live demo here.
Vaishnaw, who travelled in a locomotive and inspected the working of ‘Kavach’ including on-site demonstration of head-on collision, said it is a major milestone in the history of Indian Railways.
