Special drive to sensitise passengers on need to travel with valid tickets

The Southern Railway on Thursday began a special ticket checking drive to sensitise passengers on the importance of travelling with valid tickets to ensure a safe and comfortable journey for all. The drive will focus on the originating stations of the most crowded trains, where ticket checking teams will ensure that only passengers with valid tickets are allowed to board. En route stations where large number of passengers are known to board, particularly on busy routes with heavy unreserved traffic, will also be subjected to ticket checking. The stations targeted for the drive include Thiruvananthapuram Central, Mangaluru Central, Coimbatore Junction, Palakkad Junction, Madurai Junction etc. Passengers found travelling without proper tickets will be strictly dealt with as per the provisions of the Railways Act. Such passengers will either be deboarded and escorted out of the station premises or penalised/prosecuted, depending on the circumstances of each case, said railway authorities in a statement issued. The drive is aimed at safeguarding the rights of bona fide passengers and maintaining order in train operations as well as ensuring the security and safety of the travelling public, said the Railways. The Southern Railway has appealed to passengers to extend full cooperation during the drive and help in maintaining a safe, secure, and pleasant travel environment for all.
