Pakistan Railway moving Toward success..
Siemens Proposes Automated Signaling System to Railway
Siemens, a renowned German company and the largest electronics manufacturing company in Europe, offered an automated signaling system to Pakistan Railways, a schematic system for level crossings in which train driver would be warned of any danger or hazard on the track beforehand.
Representatives of Siemens, Helmut von Struve, Managing Director, Siemens Pakistan Engineering Company Limited and Marco Wagner, Regional Business Manager visited Pakistan Railways headquarters office and met CEO Pakistan Railways, advisor on Railways Anjum Parveiz and other relevant team members.
Digital wireless transmission of video images of train approaching and leaving a level crossing would help the driver and staff to respond to any untoward situation timely.
The Digital wireless system offered by the company is based on RFID Technology, Radiofrequency Identification System where RFID tags would be installed on level crossings and receiver for the same would keep engine driver updated of the ground situation.
According to Railways Ministry there are a total of 3987 level crossings on entire Railway system including 1517 manned and 2470 unmanned level crossings. Of the total 1195 are in Punjab, 133 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 504 in Sindh and 86 in Balochistan.
About 80 level crossings have so far been manned during the incumbent government tenure while work on 100 is in progress. Only 7 level crossings were manned during the previous government period, the official added.
Pakistan Railways has also proposed to construct under passes and flyovers at vulnerable level crossing on Built, Operate and Transfer (BOT) basis with the help of private sector. The contactor would collect toll from the users and after recovering their money, would hand over it to government.
Railway Ministry has prepared short, medium and long term plans to control the trains’ accidents. Further PC-1 of a new project worth Rs 730 million has been submitted to the Planning Division for affective communication system.
Under the project provision of better communication (VHF radio) for improvement of communication between ground staff and locomotive crew would be ensured. Manned level crossing be further upgraded with provision of signals and tracking/ monitoring of trains through GPS/ location devices is also under process.

I doubt Modi welcomes the reduced violence in Baluchistan that affords higher success chances for CPEC project, although I'm sure he'll say otherwise in public. If I'm right, then it beckons the question if his administration will foster trouble to impede Pakistani development, especially in and around Gwadar port and Balochistan in general.
That is just why a noticed this article. I also remembered that ambassador Bhadrakumar complained that an Indian minister had suggested that India could put pressure on Pakistan by supporting subversion in Balochistan. Then there is the death sentence given to Kulbhushan Jadhav and this paragraph in the article I quoted earlier:
