To ensure safe train operations during foggy conditions, 980 Fog Safe Devices have been installed. A total of 315 devices have been provided in the Lucknow division, 250 in the Izzatnagar division, and 415 in the Varanasi division. Additionally, luminous strips have been installed on signal posts and the barriers of level crossings, and line marking has been carried out on signal sighting boards.

This information was provided by the Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of North Eastern Railway. He stated that GPS-based Fog Safe Devices have been installed in all passenger and goods trains. Safe and secure rail travel is the railway's highest priority, and continuous efforts are being made to make this robust and effective.

With the installation of Fog Safe Devices, the maximum permissible speed of trains has increased to 75 km per hour. The confidence of loco pilots has increased as they receive information about upcoming signals through the device. Another significant benefit is that the need to deploy fog signalmen to place detonators on the tracks has been eliminated.
