Section 67 of Railway act prescribes that:- ...

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.

the present set of rules to prevent carrying of inflammable materials in train is adequate. but what is inadequate is its implementation. it is difficult to check each compartment for presence of inflammable materials. so what is needed is (i)restriction at entry points i.e. stations, (ii)strict(rather sincere) supervision, (iii)tough punitive action and (iv)awareness of passengers(not of the rule, but the punitive action if the rule is violated).

Increase the no. of compartments in all local trains to 15, in mumbai. Automatic door closing facility be started in compartments,like Metro Rail Service.
Do not carry Kerosene, Gas or Stove cylinders, petro, and diesel in rail compartments, which is also punishable. Please avoid smoking. Please detach coaches where side berths are 3.

All major long distance passenger train halting stations should be made like airport checkpoints. Proper checking of people as well as luggage should be done at all entry points. Also railway police should be increased in numbers in the running train, to deal with any untoward incident.
