Indian railways to give staff high-tech mobiles to limit accidents

The Indian Railways, the world's largest employer, will introduce advanced mobile telephones for train staff to cut down on its high accident rate, according to the AFP.

"The telephones will make emergency calls supersede all other communication and let employees talk to more than one colleague at a time, the Business Line newspaper said. Currently, Indian train drivers and guards speak to one another through walkie-talkies with limited range".
