If you travel by train, be aware of these rules; carrying these items could land you in jail.

Railway Rules: Carrying or using certain electrical and flammable items while traveling by train is prohibited. Breaking these rules can result in not only a fine but also imprisonment.

Millions of people travel by train every day across the country. Whether it's a long-distance trip or a nearby city. Railways are the lifeline of the common man. However, many of these passengers are unaware of the essential rules related to train travel.

While traveling by train, many people unknowingly commit acts that violate the rules. Indian Railways has clarified that taking safety rules lightly can be costly. Under railway rules, the use of certain electrical appliances inside trains is completely prohibited.

This is a matter concerning the safety of passengers. Any passenger found violating these rules could face a fine or legal action. Electric stoves are strictly prohibited in train compartments. These appliances generate excessive heat.

Limited space and flammable materials inside coaches increase the risk of fire. Even minor negligence can lead to a major accident. Rod heaters are also banned on trains. Many people bring them with them to heat water, but this is a violation of the rules.

Rod heaters rapidly increase temperature and can cause overloading, posing a risk of short circuits or sparking. Induction cookers are also prohibited on trains. They consume a lot of electricity, which is unsafe for the coach's wiring. Due to the risk of technical failure or fire, they are completely banned.

Electric kettles are also among the banned items. Despite their small size, they generate a lot of heat. If pressure is placed on the wiring, they can cause a fire or short circuit. Therefore, the Railways does not allow their transportation or use.

All these rules are intended to ensure passenger safety. Any misuse of heat or electricity in a flammable environment can lead to a serious accident. Ignoring the rules can result in fines and even imprisonment.
