Prayagraj : Vande Bharat trains, operating between Varanasi and New Delhi via Prayagraj, will be equipped with the Kavach 4.0 in Nov. On June 24, Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav reviewed the advanced version of Automatic Train Protection System Kavach 4.0. It was decided that it should be installed first in trains running on the Delhi-Howrah and Delhi-Mumbai routes. Now, preparations are being made to equip Vande Bharat running between Varanasi and New Delhi with Kavach 4.0 first.
Currently, two Vande Bharat trains are running between Varanasi and New Delhi. One Vande Bharat leaves from New Delhi for Varanasi in the morning and the other in the evening from Delhi via Prayagraj. There is a plan to equip both of them with the Kavach System 4.0. After Vande Bharat, Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Prayagraj Express, and other premium trains running on this route will also be equipped with it. Kavach has been developed by the railway to prevent accidents.
In case of emergency, if the loco pilot is negligent or fails to apply brakes, Kavach gets activated automatically and averts the risk of an accident by applying brakes to the moving train. Earlier, the NCR zone was to be equipped with the 3.2 version of Kavach, but now it will be equipped with the advanced version 4.0. Some technical changes have been made in Kavach 4.0.
