Palakkad Division Forms Special Teams to Check Unauthorised Travelling & Overcrowding in Trains

Palakkad Division of Southern Railway has intensified efforts to address unauthorised travel and overcrowding in trains by embarking on a series of measures. On an average, the teams inspect around six trains daily within the division’s jurisdiction. Eight specific trains are identified as being particularly susceptible to overcrowding and unauthorised travel.

These include Train No. 16346 Thiruvananthapuram Central-Mumbai LTT Netravathi Express; Train No. 12602 Mangalore Central-Chennai Central Mail; Train No. 12686 Mangalore Central-Chennai Central Superfast Express; Train No. 16630 Mangalore Central-Thiruvananthapuram Central Malabar Express; Train No. 16603 Mangalore Central-Thiruvananthapuram Central Maveli Express; Train No. 16528 Kannur-Yeshwanthpur Express; Train No. 16348 Mangalore Central-Thiruvananthapuram Central Express, and Train No. 22852 Mangalore Central-Santragachi Vivek Weekly Express.

The division said at least 373 individuals have been identified as unauthorised travellers and have been removed from reserved compartments in recent months. The action not only enhances the travel experience for legitimate passengers but also reinforces adherence to Railway regulations.
