Jammu, March 2 -- More than 6,000 passengers were penalised and Rs.38 lakh realised during an intensive ticket-checking campaign across Jammu division of northern Railway in February, an official said on Sunday. Led by senior divisional commercial manager Uchit Singhal, ticket checking teams conducted intensive checks at major stations, including Jammu Tawi, Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra, Udhampur, and Pathankot cantonment, as well as on various trains passing through the division, the official said. During the month of February, over 6,000 passengers were caught travelling without tickets or with irregular tickets, resulting in realisation of Rs.38 lakh fine from them. Singhal said the primary objective of the drive was to provide passengers with a safe and respectful travel experience. "The ticket checking campaign is not only meant to impose penalties, but also to create awareness among passengers. We appeal to passengers to always travel with valid tickets and use the Railways' digital payment systems such as the UTS on Mobile App and the 'RailOne' app," he said....
