Vande Bharat Sleeper Train Gets Safety Boost with New Recommendations
Imagine a new super-fast train called Vande Bharat, but it has a sleeping area for long trips.
Before everyone can ride it, a special safety inspector looked at it.
This inspector suggested making the train even safer.
They want to use special wires that won't catch fire easily, especially for important cameras and a black box that records information.
They also think the buttons to ask for help in emergencies should be easier to reach.
The train bosses liked these ideas and told another group to check them out to make the train the best it can be for travelers.
CCRS recommended using fire-survival cables for systems like CCTV and the Crash Hardened Memory Module.
The recommendations aim to prevent fire incidents on the Vande Bharat sleeper train.
Installation of a device to detect wiring faults was also suggested.
Emergency alarm buttons should be relocated for better accessibility.
The Railway Board has directed the RDSO to examine these recommendations for train improvements.
