Attention Smokers! Vande Bharat Trains Equipped With Sensors To Stop Immediately; Huge Fine Will Be Imposed

The Vande Bharat Express, known for its luxury and efficiency, has implemented a cutting-edge system to maintain safety standards and enforce regulations. With smoke detection sensors strategically placed throughout the train, passengers are strongly advised against attempting to smoke on the train, especially in areas like lavatories. These sensors are designed to monitor smoke levels continuously, triggering an alarm if the predefined threshold is exceeded. Upon activation, the alarm provides detailed information on the location and source of the smoke, enabling swift action to address any potential risks.
Earlier, Kerala’s new Vande Bharat trains have stopped like this twice in a week. This happened in Tirur, Pattambi-Pallipuram route. The passenger was fined for violating the law and causing inconvenience.
Compliance with safety protocols is paramount, with the train crew promptly responding to any alarm activation. Technical staff are trained to investigate the source of the alarm and confirm the absence of fire before resuming the journey, prioritizing passenger safety above all else.
Smoke detection sensors are also installed in the AC compartment of current ICF coaches. Toilets in new LHB coaches also have the same sensor system. The main objective of this system is to ensure early detection and safety of train fires. toilets of new LHB coaches underscores the railway’s commitment to early fire detection and prevention. This proactive approach not only deters smoking onboard but also minimizes the risk of potential fire hazards, safeguarding passengers and crew members alike.
