Safety in Indian Railways is a major concern due to the large number of passengers and the extensive network. In this regard, Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Minister of Railways, has taken several measures to ensure the safety of passengers while traveling in trains, particularly in Northern Railways.

• Installation of Automatic Train Protection (ATP) and Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) at high-density network routes.
• Strengthening railway infrastructure such as tracks, bridges, and signaling systems to ensure they are in good condition and reduce accidents due to infrastructure failures.
• Introduction of a new technology in which the locomotive driver and station master are linked via mobile phones, and any signal failure or other unexpected situations can be quickly reported to the driver for appropriate action.
• Deployment of safety personnel onboard various trains to oversee and assist passengers in the event of any emergency.
• Periodic safety audits and inspections are being carried out at various levels by the Railways to ensure compliance with safety norms.
• The establishment of a new Railway Security Fund with a budget of Rs 1 lakh crore to improve the overall safety of railway operations.
• Encouraging the use of technology in addressing safety concerns such as electronic tracking systems and CCTV cameras to monitor train movements and detect any potential safety concerns.

In conclusion, the actions taken by Ashwini Vaishnaw and the Indian Railways are aimed at ensuring the safety of passengers and improving the overall safety of railway operations. Through these measures, the railways can ensure the safety of passengers while traveling and mitigate accidents.
