Pune, 2nd May 2023: In the month of April, Pune Railway Division checked tickets of travelers and found 28,167 people traveling without a proper ticket. As a result, a fine of Rs. 2 crore 29 lakh 22 thousand was collected from them.
The ticket checking inspectors took this action under the guidance of Divisional Railway Manager, Indu Dubey, in coordination with Additional Divisional Railway Manager, Brijesh Kumar Singh, and Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Dr. Milind Hirve, and Divisional Commercial Manager, Dr. Ramdas Bhise.
The offenders were fined Rs. 50,69,000 for traveling irregularly, and a fine of Rs. 21,000 was imposed on 206 people for carrying unbooked luggage. The railway administration conducts regular ticket checks, and passengers are reminded to travel with a proper ticket. Otherwise, they will have to pay a fine under the Railway Act, and in the case of failure to pay the fine, they may also be punished with jail time.
This initiative aims to discourage passengers from traveling without a valid ticket and to promote adherence to the law. Such actions are crucial in maintaining the integrity of the railway system and ensuring the smooth functioning of the transport network. The railway administration has requested passengers to cooperate with them and follow the rules to avoid any inconvenience.
