Section 67 of Railway act prescribes that:-

1. No person shall take with him on a railway, or require a railway administration to carry such dangerous or offensive goods, as may be prescribed, except in accordance with the provisions of this section.

2. Non person shall take with him in a railway the goods referred to in sub-section (1) unless he gives a notice in writing of their dangerous or offensive nature to the railway servant authorized in this behalf.

3. No person shall entrust the goods referred to in sub-section (1) to a railway servant authorized in this behalf for carriage unless he distinctly marks on the outside of the package containing such goods their dangerous or offensive nature and gives a notice in writing of their dangerous or offensive nature to such railway servant.

4. If any railway servant has reason to believe that goods contained in a package are dangerous or offensive and notice as required under sub-section (2) or sub-section(3), as the case may be, in respect of such goods is not given, he may cause such package to be opened for the purpose of ascertaining its contents.

5. Notwithstanding anything contained in this section, any railway servant may refuse to accept any dangerous or offensive goods for carriage or stop, in transit, such goods or cause the same to be removed, as the case may be, if he has reason to believe that the provisions of this section for such carriage are not compiled with.

6. Nothing in this section shall be constructed to derogate from the provisions of the Indian Explosives Act, 1884 (4 of 1884), or any rule or order made under that Act, and nothing in sub-sections (4) and (5) shall be constructed to apply to any goods entrusted for carriage by order or on behalf of the Government or to any goods which a soldier, sailor, airman or any other officer of the armed forces of the Union or a police officer or a member of the Territorial Army of the National cadet Corps may take with him on a railway in the course of his employment or duty as such.

However passengers tend to carry inflammable and dangerous materials like firecrackers, petroleum products, explosives etc., resulting in fire accidents and loss of human life.

Suggest solutions for reducing fire accidents due to carrying of inflammable materials by passengers.

One of the major issue with explosive and inflamible materials is the lack of knowledge about the materials amoung railway servicemen and common public. Many materials are misunderstood to be be safe when travelling than in say car/bus when in reality it is not. Additionality anonymous complaint mechanism particularly through smartphones incl. Potential photo/videographic mechanisms should be created/allowed to strengthen information gathering.

In the work force of Indian Railways there is no difference of pay between Technical and non technical posts. For example a Senior Section Engineer/P.Way whose nature of duty is to stay on duty round the clock has a grade pay of Rs.4800/- whereas a OS working under him also has grade of Rs. 4800/- causing lot of heartburn this should be corrected immidiately

Hon'ble sir As a student of b.tech mechanical engg. must suggest to create a electrification network between chittaurgarh city and its nearby cities because chittaurgarh area covered so many industries and industries rise pollution level. chittaurgarh area having only single line to transportation of passenger as well as goods train. Due to single line and another goods coming from opposite direction, train be delay. Due to rest of the train at crossing lot of fuel burned and causes pollution.

Railways is the biggest transport industry owned,managed & controlled by Union Government. By the grace of honorable PM, every citizen has right to express their views & ideas which constructive in nature.The valuable suggestion of Railway users are most welcome. Also it is true that, all the suggestions are cannot be implemented, as man to man, thinking process varies. If one is implemented, it will contradict the others.High level officials are regularly in touch & going through all posts.

Agar isme bhi metro jaise ticket system kar diya jaye to T.C KI rishwat khori band ho jayegi aur public ka sukun ka safar shuru ho jayega.sarkar jo salary T.C ko deti hai wo bachegi aur ticket kiraye mein bhi increment kar sakte ho issey public ko koi objection nahi hoga kyunki wo 1 hi baar pareshan hoga purey rastey nahi

रेल में भारत स्वच्छता अभियान तभी सफल होगा जब रेल में अवैधानिक तोर पर बिकने वाली सामग्री पर रोक लगे बिना टिकेट होकर तमाम वस्तुए जिसमे खाने की सामग्री के साथ गुटखा इत्यादि भी बिक रहा है ओर उसके कारण रेल प्रशाशन के प्रयास के बाद भी गंदगी फ़ैल रही है रेल में प्लेटफार्म ओर रेल के अंदर कचरा फ़ैलाने पर पेनल्टी लगाना जरुरी है तभी रेल साफ रह सकेगी साथ ही रेल तथा प्लेटफार्म से भीख मांगने वालो को बलपूर्वक बाहर रखना होगा
