Protection (ATP) system called &#8216;Kavach&#8217; in Indian Railways, with immediate effect, to ensure public safety, the division bench of Surya Kant and K V Vishwanathan, JJ. has asked the Centre to inform about the steps proposed or already undertaken, including implementation of anti-collision system &#8216;Kavach&#8217;, to ensure safety of Railway passengers and for preventing train accidents.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">On 23-03-2022, the Ministry of Railways had announced a significant step towards enhancing the safety of train operations in India with the development of the Indigenous ATP System called &#8216;Kavach&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The petitioner added that the Odisha Train accident showed the deep gross negligence committed by the authorities leading to violation of right to life and liberty of citizens under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574949\" target=\"_blank\"
