Union Minister of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw has undertaken a daring step while inspecting the ‘Kavach,’ an indigenously developed Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system, between Gullaguda - Chitgidda Railway stations on Lingampally - Vikarabad section in Secunderabad Division of South Central Railway.
