In a bid to stop the theft on board, the Indian Railways will soon introduce an OTP-based digital locking system on its freight and parcel trains. The move will enhance the safety and security of the goods train.
According to railways, this new lock system will be opened through an OTP (One Time Password) and closed by another without any interference in between the journey. For the smooth running of the trains, an OTP will be received by railway personnel at each station where loading or unloading has to be done.
