RAILWAYS MEASURES FOR MINIMISING LEAKAGE OF REVENUE
LOK SABHA
The Railways are taking continuous steps for technological
upgradation as well as intensive physical checkings to stop leakage
of revenue. Physical checks are carried out involving a large
number of Commercial, Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel
as well as personnel from other departments like Vigilance. The
presence of force is essential in most of the ticket checking
drives as a support. Test checks on weight of the luggage booked
as well as unbooked luggage are also carried out during these
raids. Regular train checking is also done by ticket checking
staff manning the train. In these checks, senior officers of the
Railways including the Divisional Railway Managers (DRMs) and
above participate. Immediate action is taken on information received
about leakage of Railway revenue from citizen.
This information was given by
Shri Bandaru Dattattraya, Minister of State for Railways in a
written reply to a question by Shri Sheesh Ram Singh Ravi in the
Lok Sabha today.
