Almost five days after the breakdown of services on Central Railway (CR), the Indian Railways (IR) have accepted that they had bungled during the Thane yard remodelling, testing on DC-AC conversion and other work that was carried out since December 29, 2012, for a period of five days. Now, to rectify their mistakes, the Railways are looking at either devising a global positioning system (GPS) or installing a chip that would allow people to get the exact position of a train on the Internet.

It is proposed that trains with GPS will help commuters check the status of the trains on their smartphones. File Photo
