Northeast Frontier Railway installs automatic weather stations to outsmart monsoon floods and landslides

Sensors can log rain up to 900mm per hour

Northeast Frontier Railway has begun installing automatic weather stations at monsoon-vulnerable stretches to strengthen safety and disaster readiness. Three stations are already operational, with six more in installation and expected to be completed by the end of May. The network, built in coordination with the India Meteorological Department, will deliver real-time, location-specific data for faster preventive actions during floods, landslides, and other adverse conditions. Stations will cover key routes in Assam, Mizoram, and Manipur.
