Indian Railways Collaborates with Sparsh CCTV for Station Security

Sparsh CCTV, a leader in electronic surveillance, has teamed up with Indian Railways to enhance security and operational efficiency for the newly inaugurated Jammu Railway Division. This partnership coincides with the launch of three new trains, marking a historic step in improving connectivity between Kashmir and the rest of India. Sparsh CCTV previously played a key role in securing the Maha Kumbh at Prayagraj, ensuring the safety of millions of pilgrims.

Sparsh’s comprehensive surveillance solutions have been vital in the success of the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL), a project of significant strategic and economic importance for India. By enabling seamless rail connectivity in this sensitive region, USBRL reflects the Government of India’s commitment to infrastructure development and national security.

During the Maha Kumbh, Sparsh CCTV ensured thorough security at Prayagraj’s railway stations. Their efforts included installing cyber-secured STQC-certified cameras across major stations, real-time video management systems for efficient crowd control, 360-degree security coverage at Prayagraj, Prayagraj Junction, Phaphamau Junction, and Rambag, along with crowd management analytics at key locations, ensuring smooth handling of large gatherings. Sparsh’s integrated CCTV and video management systems established a control room for real-time monitoring, providing a secure and seamless experience for pilgrims.

Sanjeev Sehgal, Founder & CEO of Sparsh CCTV, expressed, “We are proud to contribute to both the USBRL project and the Maha Kumbh—two monumental initiatives that showcase India’s progress and unity. Through our innovative, 100% Made in India solutions, we have reinforced our commitment to safety, quality, and the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.”

The USBRL project, one of the most challenging railway undertakings since independence, features engineering marvels like 38 tunnels spanning 119 kilometres, 927 bridges totalling 13 kilometres, and the iconic Chenab Bridge—currently the world’s highest arch railway bridge at 359 meters above the riverbed.

Sparsh CCTV has ensured the safety and efficiency of this project by deploying advanced surveillance technologies, including fire and smoke detection, abandoned object monitoring, face recognition, and train speed analytics. A Command and Control Center, equipped with AI, SCADA systems, and an Emergency Calling System, facilitates real-time monitoring of train movements and signalling, enhancing safety and operational efficiency.

In the Kashmir region, security is a top priority, and USBRL sets a benchmark by integrating cutting-edge surveillance and operational systems in such a sensitive area. This is the first time in India that a complete railway surveillance system has been executed by a single OEM/ manufacturer. Sparsh has deployed solutions like explosion-proof cameras, stainless steel cameras, advanced video management software, and an Integrated Control Command Centre (ICCC), all designed and manufactured in India, showcasing the country’s ability to address complex challenges with indigenous technology.

The implementation of this surveillance infrastructure has been managed in collaboration with key stakeholders such as RailTel, Konkan Railways, Ircon, and renowned integrators like L&T, TATA, Honeywell, and Siemens, ensuring a world-class safety framework for the project.

Sparsh’s solutions have been critical in tackling challenges like monitoring overhead cable operations, detecting track obstructions, and integrating advanced LiDAR 3D technology to enhance operational efficiency, even in the region’s rugged and unpredictable terrain.

With the inauguration of the Jammu Railway Division, the Vande Bharat Express between Katra and Srinagar signifies the completion of the Kashmir-to-Kanyakumari rail link. This rail journey offers passengers a unique experience, crossing engineering marvels such as the Chenab Bridge and the Anji Khad cable-stayed bridge.

The successful execution of this monumental project not only strengthens national unity but also establishes a robust security framework in one of India’s most sensitive regions, thanks to Sparsh CCTV’s advanced surveillance systems.
