News India Live, Digital Desk: Crores of people travel by Indian Railways every day. It is an important part of our life. To make the journey safe and comfortable, Railways has made some rules, following which it is the responsibility of all of us. But many times people knowingly or unknowingly or carelessly keep such things in their luggage, which are not only illegal, but can also become a threat to the lives of thousands of people present in the moving train.
Do you know that as per railway rules, carrying certain items in a train is a punishable offence? If you are caught with these things during checking, you will have to Jail up to 3 years And fine of rs 1000 Or there could be both punishments.
So next time whenever you plan a train journey and pack your luggage, do check this list carefully.
Do not carry these prohibited things in the train even by mistake:
1. Any inflammable substance (things that can catch fire)
This is the most dangerous category. It is difficult to even imagine how terrible an incident of fire in a moving train can be. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to carry any kind of flammable item, such as:
- Gas cylinder (domestic or small camping)
- any kind of crackers
- Petrol, Diesel, Kerosene
- Matches (in large quantities) or lighter
- Spirit, paint or any chemical that catches fire quickly
2. Acid and dangerous chemicals
Carrying any kind of acid or other dangerous chemicals is completely prohibited. Even if it leaks accidentally, it can seriously injure the passengers traveling with you.
3. Weapons (without permission)
It is a crime to travel with any kind of weapon, such as a gun, sword or a big knife, in a train without a license and necessary documents.
4. Smelly and illegal items
You cannot travel with you with any item that may cause trouble to other passengers. Like- anything with very strong smell, raw meat not packed properly etc. Apart from this, carrying any kind of intoxicant like drugs, ganja etc. is a serious crime.
5. Pets (without proper procedure)
Many people think that they can take their pet dog or cat directly into the compartment with them, but this is wrong. Railways have separate rules for carrying pets. You have to book them in the break-van and have the proper booking receipt.
Your little caution and awareness can not only save you from a big trouble, but also make your and your co-passengers’ journey safe. Be a responsible traveler and travel safely.
