What is it and why was it missing

In a tragic incident on Monday morning, a freight train collided with Sealdah-bound 13174 Kanchanjungha Express near New Jalpaiguri, resulting in the death of at least 15 people and serious injuries to over 60 others. The collision reportedly occurred because the freight train driver ignored the signal and collided with the stationary Kanchanjungha Express. This incident has once again drawn attention to the railways’ automatic train protection system ‘Kavach’.
