Railway Knowledge: On the occasion of Diwali, RPF also runs a special checking campaign so that no passenger can carry firecrackers or any other similar thing in the train.
New Delhi. Diwali (Diwali 2023) is coming closer. Everyone wants to celebrate this festival at home with their loved ones. That is why now a large number of people working or doing business elsewhere are returning to their homes. Train is the favorite mode of travel for Indians. This is the reason why there is a lot of crowd in trains during the festival season. Every person goes home and takes something or the other with him for the festival. A lot of crackers are burst on Diwali. That’s why they are also being purchased a lot. A big question is whether a passenger can travel with crackers and sparklers in the train? Does Railways allow this?
The answer to this question is no. Indian Railways does not allow inflammable substances like firecrackers and sparklers to be carried in passenger trains. Therefore, if you have also planned to carry firecrackers and other similar things with you, then abandon your plan. If you are caught with prohibited items in the train, you can get into big trouble. Indian Railways also repeatedly appeals to passengers not to travel with firecrackers.
There may be a punishment of 3 years
According to the rules of Indian Railways, if a passenger carries any of the prohibited items during the journey, then action can be taken against him under Section 164 of the Railway Act. Under this section, the passenger can be sentenced to a fine of Rs 1000 or imprisonment of three years or both. Because firecrackers come under the category of prohibited items, you will be liable for punishment if caught in the train.
