South Central Railway sets record with ₹1.18 crore ticketless travel enforcement

South Central Railway (SCR) recorded its highest single-day collection of ₹1.18 crore during a dedicated anti-ticketless travel enforcement drive, marking a substantial spike above routine operations. The achievement reflects the zone's stepped-up initiative to tackle fare evasion across its extensive network. SCR's daily average revenue from ticket checking operations stands at ₹33.44 lakh, generated from approximately 4,373 cases, according to operational records. The significantly higher single-day collection demonstrates the potential for enhanced revenue recovery when intensified drives are conducted. Railway authorities have maintained consistent ticketing compliance checks as part of broader revenue protection measures and passenger accountability initiatives. The drive's success is expected to encourage similar enforcement operations across SCR's jurisdiction, which covers major routes in South and Central India. Officials attribute the record collection to coordinated efforts by ticket checking teams deployed at key stations and on trains.
