Railway officials explain why Kavach would not have prevented the Odisha train accident
Even if Kavach was active on the route, the Coromandel three-train tragedy could not have been avoided, Rail Board Member Jaya Varma Sinha said.
“If an obstruction comes suddenly in front of a high-moving vehicle, then no technology in the world would prevent an accident,” Jaya Varma Sinha, Member of Operation and Business Development, Railway Board, said in a press conference today.
Some kind of interference was there, whether it was manual, weather-related, or anything else would be revealed by a full probe, Jaya Varma added underlining that there is possibility of equipment failure in all electronics systems.
