Ferozepur Railway yield Rs 1.7 cr revenue from 32,078 ticket-less passengers in September
Ferozepur, October 7, 2024: The Ferozepur Rail Division has achieved significant revenue through intensive ticket-checking measures aimed at improving passenger services and curbing ticketless travel. In September alone, the ticket-checking staff, including senior ticket inspectors, detected 32,078 passengers traveling without valid or irregular tickets. These efforts resulted in a collection of Rs 1.7 crore in fines, boosting the division's revenue.
To prevent unauthorised travel, railway officials frequently conduct surprise ticket checks across trains, educating passengers about the importance of travelling with valid tickets. Additionally, the division has been actively working to keep its stations clean. Regular inspections are conducted to discourage littering and to promote cleanliness awareness among passengers. In September, under the Anti-Littering Act, fines totalling over ₹1,45,500 were imposed on 812 individuals found littering at station premises.
Senior Divisional Commercial Manager Parmdeep Singh Saini emphasised that the ticket-checking campaigns will continue, aiming for improved ticket sales and the goal of zero ticketless travel in the Ferozepur Rail Division.
