Good to see once again modern technology saved life. LHB coaches should have been made mandatory in all coaches atleast 10 years earlier, but sadly it did not happen and now it will take another 20 years to replace all existing old coaches

What is happening?
Modernization should be done asap. Looks like the present infastructure is reaching its limits. Government will have to pump a lot of money in Railways.
