 Section 147 of Railway act prescribes that:-

1. If any person enters upon or into any part of a railway without lawful authority he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may be extended to six months or with a fine which may extend to one thousand rupees or with both.

Provided that in the absence of special and adequate reasons to the contrary to be mentioned in the judgment of the court, such punishment shall not be less than a fine of five hundred rupees.

2. Any person referred to in sub-section(1) may be removed from the railway by any railway servant or by any other person whom such railway servant may call to his aid.

why is it that a passenger never reaches the wrong terminal ever in a flight. The system is in place. Yes they handle much lesser number of people but I am sure there are experts to track and solve the issue

A family with small kids and heavy luggage how do get the luggage there.. the obvious ans is coolies.. but do the coolies actually go over the bridge they too take the short cut. Case three.. How do loaders transfer the load from platform 1 to platform 3... all the vegetables, parcels etc... We do not have s system to transfer load at our stations. We do not cater for old people / handicapped people at our stations. May be that is where we ned to look into. Obviously strict rules req

The problem is not with people.... the problem is with the system... Why is it that people want to take the shortcut... are they lazy, or just that they dont want to follow rules.... i guess the problem is diferent... lets take three examples. My each example will be oen comment so will have to read in continuation. A old man on wheel chair.. wit his train on platform 3. How does he / his relatives get him there. Does the system cater for a ramp. NO.

Whereas if we install CCTV Cameras at the four top cornors of each compartment and two TVs are installed at both Engine Driver & Guard Room Then they can easily & as well as correctly watch and take correct decision that all the crowd are get inside the train and then they can start the train. Note : BY installing the same it is also easy to catch the thieves who are doing the theft activity during late hours journey.

Respected Sir, I Want to give suggestion for Saving the Manpower losses during the accident that are happened at the time of Getting up in the local train. Presently in the local trains the guard in the last compartment seeing externally and give confirmation that all the man at Platform get inside the compartments. By this method during peak hours it is not correct & easy for them to give clearance.

deaths by trespassing on railway tracks happen due to laziness of the ppl. they try to easiest way to cross the station or platform.we have to put in security guards at vulnerable junctions of trains. the problem of India is we have educated illiterate at a large in nation.if we send these ppl abroad thy r bound to follow the rules implemented coz they have strict laws tht r implemented in a strong way..
