(1) LHB coaches are being inducted and are gradually replacing the ICF coaches, but huge fleet of coaches of IR will take much more than a decade or two for total replacement.

(4) RDSO should try to develop methods to make ICF coaches safer with anti climbing & anti telescopic like LHB coaches through some modifications, so that safety can be improved till the whole fleet of coaches is replaced by LHB ones.
