New Delhi: Indian Railways is on the path of change and progress. Railways passing through the path of modernization are implementing many reforms. Indian Railways pays attention to even the smallest things considering the needs of the passengers.
Recently, Railways has implemented a major legal reform. Accordingly, from now on it is essential to have a confirmed ticket to travel by train. Otherwise, railways will charge a penalty if traveling without a confirmed ticket.
That is, according to the new law, a person who is caught traveling with a weighting ticket will have to pay a fine. With the start of the festive season, the train is very crowded. On this occasion, this decision is for the convenience of the passengers. Apart from this, railways have started many new trains considering the rush of trains.
According to the new rule implemented by the railways, traveling on waiting tickets is completely prohibited. Besides, the railways have also tightened ticket checking. According to the estimates given by the railways, 4000 to 6000 passengers travel with waiting tickets every day. This not only creates inconvenience to other passengers but also leads to massive overcrowding in the coaches.
Railways have implemented these new rules keeping in mind such inconveniences to the passengers. That means if a passenger is caught traveling with a waiting ticket when the new law comes into force, a fine of Rs 500 will be levied. So, before starting the train journey, keep these things in mind.
Apart from that, the other major change is that comforts like blankets, sheets, and pillows have been re-introduced in the trains. This is a great comfort for AC coach travelers. But, another important thing is that this time this service will not be provided free of cost to the passengers. Passengers will have to pay for this. Also, a complete kit will be provided to railway passengers. Its price is 300 rupees. It is not necessary to buy the complete kit. Buy only what you need. Any traveler can avail of these services.
