Central Railway Tests Anti-Collision System in Mumbai
Central Railway tested a new safety system called KAVACH on a train line in Mumbai.
This system is designed to stop trains from crashing into each other automatically.
The tests happened on September 28th, between a few stations near Mumbai.
This is a big step in making train travel safer.
The Central Railway is the first to finish testing this system in all of its different areas.
This new technology will eventually be used on a lot of train tracks to help prevent accidents.
Central Railway conducted locomotive trials of the KAVACH anti-collision system.
Trials took place on the Panvel–Roha section in Mumbai.
