Train Chain Pulling Rules

Under section 141 of the Indian Railway Act, 1989, if a passenger or any other person uses the chain without any necessary reason or makes an interference in the work of the railway staff, then the railway administration, the passengers and the railway staff will be obstructed. The walking convict can be sentenced to one year and a fine of up to 1 thousand rupees or both.

Unnecessarily pulling a chain in the middle of a train on a train can cost anyone. Chain pulling may result in winding up to the jail from paying the fine. In such a situation, you should know the rules of pulling the chain in the train so that you can avoid any penalty.

Under what circumstances can you pull the train chain-

-If a hitchhiker (over 60 years of age) or a child misses and starts the train

-Train fires

-The elderly or disabled person is taking time to board the train and let the train go

-Suddenly someone's health deteriorates in a bogey (seizure or heart attack).

-In case of train snatching, theft or robbery

This is how it works: Earlier the train bogies were chained everywhere on the walls, but due to misuse, the railways reduced their number. Now they are given only in the middle of every bogey. The alarm chains are attached to the main brake pipe of the train. This pipe carries air pressure, which makes the train move at a high speed. But during chain pulling, this air escapes. The speed of the train slows down due to the decrease in air pressure, after which the loco pilot stops it.

Punishment for Chain Pulling of Train ?: Under section 141 of the Indian Railway Act, 1989, if a passenger or any other person uses the chain without any necessary reason or interference in the work of railway staff, then railway administration, passengers And due to obstructing the work of railway staff, the guilty can be sentenced to one year and a fine of up to 1 thousand rupees or both. In any case, this punishment should not be less than this -

-With a fine of five hundred when first caught

-From imprisonment for three months for being caught second or more times

What to do if the mobile falls ?: If the mobile is dropped by a moving train and it is dropped at a deserted place, then its chance is 90 percent. All you have to do is to see the number lying on the front electric pole instead of looking down at the bottom of the mobile. Now call the helpline 182 of RPF and tell them that between which station and how many numbers has your mobile fallen near the electric pole? RPF will find your mobile. You can collect your mobile by going back to that station and telling it your identity.
