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.

In India Railway,Communication system should be more convenient and efficient so that passenger can communicate to the TT/attendant/security person anytime.Traffic Management system(ERTMS) should be developed such a way that the route will not be disturbed anytime.Train Maintenance system is very poor in India(I don't know what Railway Officer is doing whole day from DRM To section engineers are not doing any positive things for better maintenance.Trains looks like Scrap.

यात्री गाडि़यों में ज्वटलनशील सामग्री ले जाने के कारण होने वाली दुर्घटनाएं
सुजाव - ऐसे ज्वलनशील सामान को लेजाने के लिए आखिरी कोच में पैक जगह बनाई जावे जिसमे विध्धुत कनेक्शन भी न हो। सामान रखने की प्रक्रिया सरल हो जेसे टिकट व PNR नं लिया जावे व उसे टोकन देवें।इसकी जिम्मेदारी गार्ड के पास रहे। यह व्यवस्था निशुल्क हो। जिससे पैसा बचाने के चक्कर में लोगों को सामान छुपा कर ले जाने की जरूरत न पडे।
अच्छे पोस्ट को अधिक से अधिक शेयर करें जिससे विभाग को लागू करने में मदद मिले।

Dear Sir Vandematram
most priority for railways to stop hawkers in the mail, express & other long route trains. ( i have wrote over here before two months, yet no progress from government).

One very big benifit your government have is to use lakhs of acre Raiway land for froducing solar or wind energy.

to self generate energy in trains, proplalers can b installed on each train. It will also reduce use of coal & diesel and pollution will also reduce.
With Regards

Railways should bear more of the burden for transporting goods.It will relieve the pressure on roads by movement of HVT like trucks. This amounts to less wear and tear of roads, traffic congestion on Highways, Irregular movements and the like.

General people don't know this declaration thing,,, we have to post this act at hoardings on big stations, also citing examples of these inflammable goods and also giving officer name who can be corrospondede in case of declaration.

For at least 3 months we should also charge penalty on the ill doer,, so that people become informed and a strict message is also forwarded

penalty should be hefty but reasonable

Sharp sniper shooting is inaccurate. This Accurate shooting gun will vastly improve the accuracy of the gun even at 1000 yards. US military is trying one. See this site http://tracking-point.com/how-it-works. This is required for our BSF and Army jawans in the LOC to stop the infiltrators from Pakistan. It can be used for Naxalite operations and where one has to shoot a moving target. It can save jawan's life. It can be retrofitted on 7.62 SLR.

Further to add : The floodlights all along the railway track with high power LED lights can further be linked to solar cell panels generating low cost electricity will arrest the loss of revenue Railways due to late running of trains specially in winters when trains crawl due to fog....I am an Electrical Engineer from one of NITs and working on a senior position in Energy Sector.

Fog and signalling are the two prominent factors creating obstruction in running the trains on time. While signal up-gradation can be achieved by replicating the metro-signal system, installing high power flood halogen light all along the track will improve the visibility to such an extent that no train will be delayed due to fog . The floodlights can be hooked up with same electric cables being used to feed train engine. A wonderful gift that H,ble PM can give to million of people.
