The minister added that 40,000 technicians and operators have been trained because this is a "very" complex and totally new system.

On a supplementary question asked by DMK's Kalanidhi Veeraswamy on rail accidents, the minister said compared to 2014, when the number of consequential accidents was 135, the government has been able to "bring it down by 90 per cent to 11."
