Death audit of road accident fatalities compulsory in Bengal
Death Audits in case of fatalities in road transport accidents (RTAs) will be compulsory in West Bengal, as per the latest order from the state Health Department.
Moving a step ahead in upgrading technology, the Eastern Railway recently replaced the antiquated lever frame at Burdwan up yard with an advanced electronic interlocking system.
The lever frame cabin at the yard dates back to 1948 /1949, according to the ER. The mechanical lever-frame based signalling system was in use since 1949. With its replacement yesterday, the new system has been installed to ensure reliable, faster and easier operation of goods traffic resulting in enhancing revenue for Indian Railways. The installation has been provided with integrated power supply, digital train detection, fire alarm and remote monitoring through data logger for increasing reliability and availability of the signalling system. The work has been commissioned by the signalling and telecom project unit of the Eastern Railway.
