Every day, crores of people travel on Indian Railways and reach their destinations. This is the reason why Indian Railways is called the lifeline of India. Indian Railways has made many rules and laws for the passengers. If you travel on a train, then you must be aware of the rules. If you make even this small mistake, then you can be fined heavily and jailed.

Chain pulling can lead to jail.

Keeping in mind the safety of the railway passengers, emergency alarm chains are installed in all the coaches on the train. If you are facing any kind of emergency, then you can use this alarm chain. However, if you use this chain in the wrong way or use it without reason, then you can also be jailed.

Under Section 141 of the Railway Act 1989, if you pull or pull the emergency alarm chain without any solid reason, then it is a punishable offense. If you violate this law, then you can be fined Rs 1000 or jailed for up to 1 year. In some cases, you may have to pay a fine and even go to jail.

When to use it

You can use the emergency alarm chain only in emergencies. If a fire breaks out in a moving train during the journey, or a child or an elderly person is unable to board the train, or someone falls ill on the train, or a robbery or theft occurs during the journey, then you can do this. If you travel in a train, then you should know about these rules before pulling the chain. So that you do not have to face any trouble later.
