Kavach Version 4.0 has been sanctioned for the remaining sections of which railway division?
- A.Samastipur Division
- B.Moradabad Division
- C.Adra Division
- D.Bhavnagar Division
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the Moradabad Division of Northern Railway. Indian Railways approved Kavach Version 4.0 on the sections of this division that were still without the system, covering 712 route kilometres at a total cost of ₹170 crore. Each of the wrong options is a place that appears in the same day's sanctions, which is why the question demands care. The Samastipur Division of East Central Railway was cleared for Electronic Interlocking at 21 stations for ₹233 crore, work that in turn prepares those stations for Kavach. Adra appears as one end of a new 11 km bypass line in South Eastern Railway costing ₹272 crore. Bhavnagar appears because the Bhavnagar Para yard in Gujarat is to be remodelled for about ₹125 crore. Fix the pair that carries the answer: Moradabad, 712 route kilometres and ₹170 crore.
