Bhopal division of West Central Railway has collected ₹3.06 lakh in just two days from people travelling without a ticket or with an irregular one. Three ticket inspectors did the work during a special checking drive. Each of them brought in more than ₹1 lakh in a single day.
Bhopal Division Runs an Intensive Ticket Checking Drive
The railway has been running a tough ticket checking campaign in the division for some time. Its aim is to stop ticketless travel and to increase the money the railways earn. The last two days showed how well it can work.
On November 10, 2026, Deputy Chief Ticket Inspector Shakir Shah took action in 124 cases in one day and collected ₹1,01,190.
The next day, November 11, Ticket Inspector Abdul Wahid handled 117 cases and collected ₹1,00,030. On the same day, Chief Ticket Inspector Amit Sharma earned ₹1,04,780 from only 50 cases. That was the highest amount of the three, even with the fewest cases.
Added together, the three inspectors brought in ₹3,06,000 for the railway. Every one of them crossed the ₹1 lakh mark on his own in a single day, which is not an easy target in ticket checking.
Bhopal Railway Honours the Three Inspectors and Asks Passengers to Cooperate
The railway did not let the effort go unnoticed. Senior Divisional Commercial Manager Saurabh Kataria honoured all three employees for their work. He praised their dedication, efficiency and sense of duty.
He said that this kind of effort does two things. It raises the railway’s income, and it keeps a check on people who travel without a ticket or on a wrong one.
The Bhopal division has also made a request to passengers. Please buy a proper, valid ticket before you board a train. When a ticket inspector asks to see your ticket, cooperate with the staff and show it. A valid ticket saves you from a fine and an argument on the platform.
Travelling without a ticket may look like a small risk, but drives like this one are checking trains regularly. As the numbers from just two days show, a lot of people are still being caught.
