There is a huge crowd in trains and people are often seen struggling with the problem of seats. Especially during festivals, a large number of passengers are seen. Routes like UP-Bihar are often crowded, due to which getting train tickets is also not easy. In such a situation, Indian Railways is going to change a rule. Railways is now preparing to provide only confirmed tickets to the passengers.
Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav gave many important information while answering questions related to railways in Parliament. The Railway Minister said that keeping in mind the convenience of passengers in trains, tickets will be issued according to the seats. That is, as many tickets as there are seats will be sold. So that passengers traveling with confirmed seats in the train do not have to face inconvenience due to passengers with waiting tickets.
This much fine for travelling without ticket
If you are caught travelling without ticket in Indian Railways, you will have to pay a fine. If you do not have money or you refuse to pay the fine, then in such a situation the passenger will be handed over to RPF. Along with this, a case is registered under section 137 of the Railway Act. RPF presents these passengers in front of the registrar. In such a case, a fine of Rs 1000 is imposed on them. If the fine is not paid, there can also be a jail term of 6 months.
Special focus on safety
Ashwini Vaishnav told the Lok Sabha that the railways focus more on safety. He said that many technical changes have been made for this, which include longer rails, electronic interlocking, fog safety devices and many other big steps. He said that India has become a big exporter of railways.
Apart from metro coaches to Australia, our country exports rail coaches to the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and France. Apart from this, operational equipment is being exported to Mexico, Spain, Germany and Italy.
Ashwini Vaishnav said that soon Bihar’s locomotive and wheels made in Tamil Nadu will run around the world. It is worth noting that if the railways strictly follows this rule, then train passengers will get a comfortable journey. However, there may be more problems in getting train tickets.
