Indian Railways and ISRO have come together to monitor 700 trains in real-time.
ISRO has designed a system equipped with GPS making it easy for Railways to track trains and automatically feed it to the control room.
This will help in keeping a track on the theft of coal, oil and other materials ferried by freight trains. Anybody who attempts to commit theft or steal goods will be caught red-handed.
Arun Kumar, Director-General of RPF, said, “Now it will not be easy to stop a freight train between stations. Anybody who attempts to commit theft or steal goods will be caught red-handed.”
