CR, Nag div, cracks down on illegal ticketing, unauthorised vending
Nagpur: Central Railway's Nagpur division launched a crackdown on illegal ticketing under ongoing "Operation Uplabdh" and also unauthorised vending. While the
Railway Protection Force
(RPF) targeted ticket touts, the commercial department's catering department acted against the unlicensed vendors to ensure passenger safety, hygiene, and revenue protection.
In a recent operation at railway reservation centre at Nagpur station's Santra Market end, the RPF's crime intelligence branch, led by ASI Pankaj Sharma and constable Harvinder Singh, apprehended an individual with a live "tatkal" ticket. The suspect admitted to booking tickets for others for a commission. A search of the individual's phone revealed multiple "tatkal" tickets amounting to over ₹29,000, indicating a systematic illegitimate operation.
And booked him under Section 143.
CR urged passengers to book tickets only through official platforms or authorised agents, especially with the summer travel rush increasing passenger traffic.
The commercial department intensified efforts against unauthorised vending. Over the past two weeks, 122 unlicensed vendors were nabbed across key trains, including Secunderabad–Danapur Express, Sanghamitra Express, and Nagpur–Ballarshah sections.

Bag with gold fails to lure honest TTI in Vijayawada
VIJAYAWADA: A Travelling Ticket Inspector (TTI) from the Vijayawada Division of South Central Railway has earned praise for his honesty and swift action. B. Avinash, TTI/Amenities/Kakinada Town, was on duty aboard Train No. 12738 Goutami Express (Rayanapadu to Kakinada Town) when he found an unclaimed bag on Berth No. 35 in coach A3. He immediately alerted the escorting RPF Head Constable and, in the presence of passengers and with video recording for transparency, opened the bag. It contained gold ornaments worth approximately Rs 2 lakh, Rs 37,000 in cash, an Aadhaar card, and other identification documents. Using the contact number on the Aadhaar card, the rightful owner was identified and confirmed ownership. Avinash ensured the safe return of the bag in the presence of RPF staff. The passenger expressed gratitude to Indian Railways for the honest handling of the situation. Senior Divisional Commercial Manager Rambabu Vavilapalli praised Avinash, stating his act reflected the core values of the Railways. Divisional Railway Manager Narendra A Patil also lauded the TTI's integrity, saying it inspires confidence among passengers and demonstrates the ethical foundation of Indian Railways.
