By
  • To provide better amenities to passengers, Railways unveiled a new AC 3-tier coach in New Delhi with state-of-the-art facilities including CCTV cameras, bio-toilets and improved safety features.
  • The interiors of the coach, with better security and comfort features, have been designed aesthetically, said Railway Board Member (Mechanic) Hemant Kumar.
  • While CCTV cameras have been installed at the entrance of the coach on both the sides to strengthen the security system, fire-retardant materials have been used to prevent fire as a safety measure.
  • Manufactured at the Integrated Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai, the AC coach is equipped with wider stainless steel ladder with hand-holds for easy climbing to upper berths.
  • Besides, the coach has also been fitted with braille stickers for the convenience of visually-impaired passengers.
  • Asked about the cost of the enhanced features, Mr Kumar said an additional Rs. 7.2 lakhs were spent to upgrade the coach with better amenities.
  • For faster evacuation in case of emergency, the door of the coach has been made to swing both ways. The bi-directional swing door is a new feature which is likely to be a norm for all new coaches in future.
