Railway Ministry to Deploy Drones for Freight Train Monitoring

The Railway Ministry is starting a project using drones to check how evenly freight trains are loaded.

Uneven loading can cause trains to fall off the tracks, so this is to make trains safer.

Three railway zones will use drones to watch the loading process and spot any problems in real time.

The drones will send images and data, and the system will automatically check for uneven loading.

This pilot project will last for three months, and then the railway will decide if they want to use this system all over the country.
