Indian Railways has decided to deploy drone cameras for various railway activities, especially project monitoring and maintenance of tracks and other railway infrastructure. Ministry of Railways in a statement said it has issued directions to Zonal Railways to procure such cameras. <br/><br/>This is in-line with Railways' desire to use technology to enhance safety and efficiency in train operations. Drone cameras will also be used to undertake monitoring of relief and rescue operation, crowd management during fairs and melas and aerial survey of station yards.<br/><br/>It is going to be instrumental in providing real-time inputs related to safety and maintenance of tracks and other railway infrastructure. West Central Railways has already done a trial-run of such cameras on all its three divisions including Jabalpur Division. <br/>
