Kavach

Two railway staff members were among seven people killed when a goods train rear-ended the Silchar-Sealdah Kanchanjunga Express at 8.55 am today, railway officials have said.

Kavach, the indigenously-developed railway safety system that helps prevent train accidents if two trains are travelling on the same line, was not available on the tracks in Darjeeling where the two trains collided today.
