Indian Railways have begun introducing tightlock centre buffer couplers to prevent coaches from climbing over each other in case of an accident in 24-coach long distance Tamil Nadu Express from Chennai to New Delhi, Andhra Pradesh Express from Hyderabad to New Delhi, Godavari Express from Hyderabad to Visakhapatnam and Charminar Express from Hyderabad to Chennai.
The anti-climbing features will be introduced progressively in all coaches.
Apart from the new coaches of German design, which have such features, Integral Coach Factory (ICF) design coaches are also being fitted with such couplers.
Anti-climbing features provide better safety to rail services.
