Central Railway (CR) has struck upon a unique idea to prevent the stealth of its seat-cum-stretcher it had installed in one of its trains to help carry accident victims to the nearest medical centre. They will reduce its weight so as to decrease its resale value and make it not worth the effort to steal.

Central Railway authorities had installed 14 of the foldable equipment in seven trains one each in the coach next to the motorman and guard’s cabin in August
