Kavach Version 4.0 has been approved on 614.75 route kilometres of the Varanasi Division of which railway zone?
- A.Northern Railway
- B.North Eastern Railway
- C.North Central Railway
- D.East Central Railway
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is North Eastern Railway. The Varanasi division, abbreviated BSB, belongs to this zone, and the sanction of 223 crore rupees extends Kavach 4.0 across the balance sections of that division, a total of 614.75 route kilometres. Option A is wrong because Northern Railway is a separate zone and the division named in this approval does not sit under it. Option C is wrong because North Central Railway, although it operates in the same broad region of the country, is not the zone to which the Varanasi division reports. Option D is wrong for the same reason: East Central Railway is headquartered elsewhere and the approval does not concern it. Kavach itself is an Automatic Train Protection system developed within the country, and its job is to stop a train from passing a signal at danger and to apply the brakes when the driver does not.
