en.Wedoany.com Reported - Indian Railways has approved a fund of ₹2.01 billion for the installation of Kavach (an automatic train protection system) on the remaining broad-gauge sections of the Ambala Division under Northern Railway.

The project covers key railway corridors totaling 811 route kilometers in the Ambala Division, including the Ambala Cantonment–Ludhiana, Kalka–Chandigarh–New Morinda–Sanehwal, Sirhind–Daulatpur Jawk, Rajpura–Bathinda–Sri Ganganagar, and Ludhiana–Dhuri–Jakhal sections. These lines serve as critical links connecting Haryana, Punjab, and Himachal Pradesh, handling substantial passenger and freight traffic.

Kavach is an indigenously developed automatic train protection system that enhances operational safety by preventing signal passing at danger, applying automatic braking to avert hazardous situations, and controlling train speed under critical conditions. The system utilizes LTE-based communication, supporting vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-trackside communication. Indian Railways is progressively deploying this system across its network.

The deployment in the Ambala Division includes the installation of onboard and trackside equipment on the covered sections, integrated with signaling and traffic control systems. Officials consider this fund allocation a significant step in the modernization of Indian Railways' safety systems.
