Significant increase in passenger revenue through ticket checking in Jammu Division

Jammu, October 25:- To facilitate passengers and ensure comfortable travel, special ticket checking drives are conducted periodically at all railway stations in the Jammu Division under the leadership of Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Mr. Uchit Singhal. These drives play a crucial role in improving passenger convenience and increasing revenue. During the festive season, ticket checking drives were conducted daily in the division to provide better passenger convenience and prevent illegal travel. On October 24, 2025, a team headed by Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Uchit Singhal, including Assistant Commercial Manager, Manoj Meena, Chief Ticket Inspector, Abdul Rashid, and other ticket checking staff, conducted extensive checks at stations and trains, with special checks on both up and down trains. In this campaign, fines of over 700,000 rupees were collected in just one day, charging 1,200 passengers for traveling without tickets.

Additional data from the last ten days of the festive season ticket checking campaign, over 32 lakhs rupees were collected in fines from approximately 2,500 passengers traveling without tickets.

Regarding this successful campaign, Uchit Singhal said, “Our efforts to strengthen ticket checking during the festivals have yielded positive results. This has led to increased revenue and significantly improved travel experience for valid passengers.” He further stated that the Jammu Division is newly formed, which can lead to a shortage of ticketing staff. However, the division’s ticket checking staff has performed remarkably well.”
