The railways play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of trains in India. Here are the operations and safety measures taken by the railways to ensure the safety of trains in India:

• Regular maintenance and upkeep of trains and tracks to prevent accidents due to technical faults
• Implementation of advanced signalling systems such as Automatic Train Protection (ATP) to prevent collisions and derailments
• Safety barriers at the edge of platforms in railway stations to prevent falls and accidents
• Crew training and strict adherence to the rules and regulations laid down by the railway authorities
• Access control measures to prevent unauthorized entry into railway property, especially around tracks and yards
• Real-time monitoring of train movements and communication between train crews and train control centers to ensure prompt response to emergencies
• Regular safety audits and mock drills to identify gaps and weaknesses in the safety system and address them in a timely manner
• Promotion of public awareness about safety measures such as avoiding crossing railway tracks and following safety instructions at railway stations

These measures taken by the Indian railways have contributed to a significant reduction in the number of train accidents over the years.
