South Eastern Railway is implementing the 'Kavach' safety system on tracks and stations in the Kolhan region and its surrounding areas.

train speed if the driver fails to do so on time, thereby preventing accidents like the recent Balasore train crash. Kavach uses RFID tags to identify tracks and stations and to track train movement, and when activated, stops all trains within a 5 km radius for safe passage of other trains. It also provides an on-board display of signal aspects for loco pilots, aiding visibility even in bad weather. The system warns loco pilots when approaching a red signal and automatically applies brakes to prevent signal passing, if necessary. Surveys for Kavach installation in Kolhan have been completed, and budget provisions are in place. The General Manager of South Eastern Railway, Anil Kumar Mishra, has confirmed that the installation will begin soon, emphasizing a focus on safety.

hai to ye system automatically brakes laga ke train ki speed control karta hai, isse recent Balasore train crash jaise accidents se bachne me madad milegi. Kavach RFID tags use karta hai tracks aur stations ki pehchan karne ke liye aur train movement track karne ke liye, aur jab active hota hai to 5 km ke radius me sabhi trains rokte hai, taaki dusri trains safely pass ho sake. Ye loco pilots ke liye signal aspects ka on-board display bhi deta hai, jisse kharab weather me bhi dekhne me madad milti hai. System loco pilots ko red signal ke kareeb aane par warn karta hai aur zarurat padne par signal crossing se bachne ke liye automatically brakes lagata hai. Kolhan me Kavach installation ke liye surveys complete ho chuke hain, aur budget me provisions bhi ho gaye hain. South Eastern Railway ke GM, Anil Kumar Mishra, ne confirm kiya hai ki installation jaldi shuru ho jaega, aur safety pe focus hai.
