"The IDS will help detect elephants approaching the railway tracks and an alert will be sent to the local pilot, station master, also station manager so that everybody throughout the loop has the information that there is an elephant on the track...,” Biswajit Sahu, Chief Public Relations officer, East Coast of Railway said. He further said that this system is a multifaceted system.
