CR, Nag div, cracks down on illegal ticketing, unauthorised vending
Nagpur: Central Railway's Nagpur division launched a crackdown on illegal ticketing under ongoing "Operation Uplabdh" and also unauthorised vending. While the
Railway Protection Force
(RPF) targeted ticket touts, the commercial department's catering department acted against the unlicensed vendors to ensure passenger safety, hygiene, and revenue protection.
In a recent operation at railway reservation centre at Nagpur station's Santra Market end, the RPF's crime intelligence branch, led by ASI Pankaj Sharma and constable Harvinder Singh, apprehended an individual with a live "tatkal" ticket. The suspect admitted to booking tickets for others for a commission. A search of the individual's phone revealed multiple "tatkal" tickets amounting to over ₹29,000, indicating a systematic illegitimate operation.
And booked him under Section 143.
CR urged passengers to book tickets only through official platforms or authorised agents, especially with the summer travel rush increasing passenger traffic.
The commercial department intensified efforts against unauthorised vending. Over the past two weeks, 122 unlicensed vendors were nabbed across key trains, including Secunderabad–Danapur Express, Sanghamitra Express, and Nagpur–Ballarshah sections.

Notable actions included 19 prosecutions on vulnerable trains and 12 cases at Betul and Sewagram stations.
Led by commercial and catering inspectors, these sustained efforts over the past two months significantly curbed illegal activities.
