Odisha Train Tragedy: Railway officials dismiss claims
The Railway officials today dismissed that the Kavach system could not have prevented the accident since the reaction time and distance was very short as the train was travelling on a very high speed. If an obstruction comes suddenly in front of a high moving vehicle then no technology will be able to prevent an accident.
