<p>If you are travelling in a premium train like Rajdhani or Shatabdi Express, avoid smoking. The Railways wants you to either kick the butt or cough up a fine for a puff.<br /><br /></p>.<p>Rattled by a spate of “burning trains”, the Railways has devised an anti-fire software. It will be installed in 22 trains, including eight Rajdhanis, eight Shatabdis and six others. <br /><br />Once the software is installed near toilets or wash basins, people won’t be able to light a match or smoke. <br /><br />The software will make a train slow down if someone smokes. After two to three minutes, the train will stop, following which the culprit will be identified and penalised.<br /><br />The software has been prepared by the Research Design and Standard Organisation (RDSO), technical and scientific wing of the Railways. “After its installation, if someone lights a cigarette or a match stick, the train will initially slow down and eventually stop in its tracks. The software will help identify the bogie in which the cigarette was lit. As a pilot project, it will be installed in 22 trains initially. If the experiment is successful, more and more trains will be added to the list,” a senior RDSO official told <br />Deccan Herald on Monday.</p>
