Lakhs of people travel by Indian Railways every day. In such a situation, it is a bit difficult for everyone to get tickets. Due to waiting, many people's tickets do not get confirmed, due to which people start traveling by train without tickets. Actually, traveling without a ticket is a punishable offense and TT can even remove you from the train. At the same time, there is a punishment ranging from fine to jail for traveling without a ticket. Now the question arises that if a woman passenger is traveling in a train without a ticket, will TT also deboard her? So let us tell you what is the railway rule for this…
What is the rule of traveling without ticket?
If a passenger is caught traveling in a train without a ticket, the TT makes him stand at the gate of the coach and at the next station where the train stops, he gets the passenger down from the coach. Many times one has to take the help of RPF or GRP for this. But if a woman is alone and has not taken a ticket, can the same be done to her?
These are the rules for solo female travelers
Railway rules are slightly different in this regard. During checking, if found without a ticket, a lone woman cannot be deboarded from the coach at any vacant station at odd hours. Besides this, even during the day, he cannot be dropped from the coach at any station where his safety may be at risk. Even if TT drops him, it will be the responsibility of GRP or RPF to take him to a safe place.
The jawans will escort the woman and ensure that she is safe where she has been left. Only after this the GRP or RPF personnel will return to the train.
