The Chennai division of Southern Railway has collected ₹32.13 lakh in fines through special enforcement drives conducted across its network, officials said.
These drives were carried out over the past few months to reduce rule violations and improve passenger discipline in suburban trains and railway stations. Ticket checking staff worked together with the Railway Protection Force (RPF) to carry out inspections at different locations.
A large share of the fines came from cases of littering on railway platforms, trains, and tracks. Officials booked over 1.12 lakh cases for people throwing waste and dirtying railway premises.
Railway authorities also took action against men travelling in coaches reserved for women. Several hundred such violations were recorded during the checks.
Officials said these enforcement drives will continue regularly to maintain cleanliness, safety, and order in the railway system and to ensure a comfortable travel experience for passengers.
