Railway Rules: We all must have travelled by train at some point in time. But we should take special care of some things during a train journey. If you violate some rules of railways even by mistake while traveling in a train or at railway stations, then you can get into trouble. By doing this, you will not only have to pay a fine but can also be sent to jail. So know these rules for your use today itself.

Do not do these things at night.

Taking full care of the sleep of the passengers at night, the railway expects all the passengers not to talk on the phone at a high volume at night or play music at a high volume.

If you do this, then you will get into trouble

If you are talking or playing music at high volume inside the train at night and a fellow passenger complains about you, then you can get into trouble.

Smoking will be expensive.

Keeping in mind the safety of the train, the railway has completely prohibited smoking or drinking alcohol inside the train or at railway stations.

You will be jailed for 3 years.
If the TTE catches you smoking or drinking alcohol inside the train, then you can be fined and jailed for up to 3 years. In such a situation, the railway strictly instructs its passengers not to smoke or consume alcohol during train journeys.

Do not travel without a ticket.
Traveling by train without a ticket is a punishable offense. Still, such pictures keep coming out from trains, in which more people than the prescribed limit are seen traveling in the reserved compartments of trains. In such a situation, if you are caught traveling without a ticket during a night journey, the TTE can not only impose a fine on you but can also take you to jail.

Do not carry these items with you on the train.
According to the rules of the railways, carrying explosive or inflammable items inside the train is strictly prohibited. In such a situation, carrying items like firecrackers, kerosene oil, petrol, and gas cylinders is completely prohibited.
