The Railways is gearing up to enhance its tracks using high-tech rails known as R-350 as the move is crucial for the operation of high-speed trains. Alongside track upgrades, the railway ministry is implementing various measures to enhance train technology and safety including the installation of an anti-collision system called ‘Kavach’ and the fencing of tracks.
