The Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan has officially approved the "Rules for the Organization of Civil Defense in Railway Transport."
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, Prime Minister Ali Asadov has signed the decree formalizing these new safety protocols. While the specific details of the regulations have not yet been publicly disclosed, the move is part of the government's broader strategy to enhance national security and emergency preparedness across critical infrastructure sectors.
Civil defense regulations in Azerbaijan are designed to ensure the protection of the population and critical infrastructure during natural disasters, industrial accidents, or other emergency scenarios. By integrating these specific protocols into the railway sector, the government aims to standardize emergency response procedures, improve passenger safety, and ensure the continuity of transport operations during potential crises. The railway network remains a vital component of Azerbaijan's logistics and transit infrastructure, connecting major economic hubs across the country.
