Bhutan's Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay is keen on visiting India following New Delhi's invitation to discuss new areas of cooperation, including connectivity and business, ET has learnt. Tobgay is no stranger to India and he has been invited following his re-election as Bhutan's PM. India had started engaging with the new Bhutanese government as soon as it was elected, with foreign secretary Vinay Kwatra meeting Tobgay on the first day of his second term last month. Tobgay is also keen to host Prime Minister Narendra Modi, it is learnt. Kwatra was on a three-day visit to Thimphu to engage with the new government to discuss new initiatives, including Bhutan's next five-year plan, fresh development support from the Indian government, and energy partnership and cross-border connectivity initiatives. New Delhi has stepped up engagements with Thimphu, a move seen as counterbalancing China's growing inroads in Bhutan, and has been observing the trajectory of ties, particularly the boundary talks. The territorial dispute between Bhutan and China covers an area of about 764 sq km--269 sq km in western and 495 sq km in north-central Bhutan. New Delhi is concerned over China's claim over areas in the vicinity of Doklam in western Bhutan. In return, Beijing wants to narrow or give up its territorial claims in the north-central region of Bhutan. Thimphu has assured New Delhi that it will not undermine India's interests while negotiating a boundary treaty with Beijing.

automatic braking system installed in eight-car Vande Bharat trains as part of the indigenously developed anti-collision device 'Kavach', an official said. «In the first-ever trial, the loco pilot did not apply the brakes and still the train, running at a speed of 160 kmph, automatically stopped 10 metres before the red signal. This parameter will now be freezed for all eight-car Vande Bharat trains across the country,» Agra Railway Division PRO Prashasti Srivastava told PTI. All Vande Bharat trains are fitted with a 'Kavach' system which can apply brakes on its own in case the loco pilot fails to do it due to any reason. Since this system needs several other components such as station Kavach, RFID tags throughout the track length and Kavach towers along the tracks to work simultaneously, the Indian Railways is in the process of implementing these components across its network to enhance operational safety.
