Railway Rules: What are railway rules? Most of the passengers traveling long distances by trains, after reaching the station in the morning, start brushing their teeth at the taps on the platform and also wash the utensils used for dinner. After this, we also have tea and breakfast there. But do you know that brushing the taps or other places (except toilets) in the railway station premises and washing dirty utensils is a crime. Railways can also impose fine on you for this work. Let us know the strange rules of Railways, which are important for you.
According to the Railway Act 1989, brushing, spitting, toilet, washing utensils, clothes or any other thing other than the designated places in the railway premises comes under the category of crime. These works can be done only in designated places like toilets etc. If railway personnel catch you doing these prohibited acts, then a fine of up to Rs 500 can be imposed on the passenger. There is a provision to impose fine for such acts in Railways.

If you write or paste something at any place on the train or railway premises, then according to the Railway Act, this also comes under the category of crime. A fine can be imposed on this.
Most of the passengers, after eating chips or other things, throw the wrappers in the empty spaces on the station premises. This is also a crime. Garbage cannot be thrown in any filled or empty railway premises or compartment other than the designated place.
In this regard, Chief Public Relations Officer of Northern Railway, Deepak Kumar, says that Indian Railways has fixed a place for brushing teeth, washing utensils, clothes or other things. If a passenger is found doing this work at any other place other than the designated places, such as on the taps on the platform, then there is a provision of fine on him. The commercial department of Railways takes action from time to time and imposes fine on such people.
