Indian Railways has initiated defensive moves for ensuring safe travel for passengers recently.

• An LHB coach has the anti-climbing or anti-telescopic feature in-built which ensures that one coach will never climb or slide into another.
• The coupling between coaches, known technically as Center Buffer Coupling. This is a big safety feature between coaches.
• Let us see how – On August 19, 13 Integral Coach Factory (ICF) coaches of the Utkal Express derailed in Uttar Pradesh, killing more than 20. On the other hand, nine Linke Hofmann Busch coaches of the Nagpur-Mumbai Duronto Express derailed. No one died.
