Railway Rules: We all must have traveled by train at some time or the other. But we should take special care of some things while traveling by train. If you violate some railway rules even by mistake while traveling in a train or at the railway station, then you may get into trouble. If you do this, then you will not only have to pay a fine, but you may also have to go to jail. So know these rules for your benefit today.
Do not carry explosive items
According to the rules of the railways, carrying explosives or inflammable items inside the train is strictly prohibited. In such a situation, if you are caught with things like firecrackers, kerosene oil, petrol, gas cylinders, then under section 164 of the Railway Act 1989, you can be fined Rs 1000 and jailed for up to 3 years.
Do not do this work at night
To ensure that passengers do not disturb their sleep during train journey, TTEs do not check tickets at night. In such a situation, the railways also expect passengers to take care of their fellow passengers' sleep. If you are talking loudly or playing music inside the train at night and a fellow passenger complains about you, you may get into trouble.
Smoking will cost you
If you are caught smoking or drinking alcohol inside the train or at the railway station, you can get into big trouble. If the TTE catches you doing this, you can be fined and can also be jailed for up to 3 years. In such a situation, the Railways strictly instructs its passengers not to smoke or consume alcohol while traveling in the train.
Traveling without a ticket
Travelling in a train without a ticket is a punishable offence. Still, such pictures keep coming out from trains, in which more people than the prescribed limit are seen travelling in the reserved coaches of the trains. In such a situation, if you are caught travelling without a ticket during a night journey, the TTE can not only fine you but can also send you to jail.
