Which of the statements given above are not correct?
A.I and II only✓ Correct
B.II and III only
C.I and III only
D.I, II and III
Explanation
Statement I is incorrect because the National Rail Plan (NRP) prepared by Indian Railways aims to create a 'future ready' Railways system by 2030, not 2028. Statement II is incorrect because Kavach is an indigenously developed Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system designed by RDSO in collaboration with three Indian firms — it was not developed in collaboration with Germany. Statement III is correct because the Kavach system uses RFID tags fitted on tracks at station sections and between stations to identify train locations and direction of movement. Thus, statements I and II are not correct.
