Indian Railways is launching a special drive from October 20 to November 27 to tackle Ticketless travel during the upcoming festive season. The initiative will focus on checking accommodation allocated under emergency quotas and reservations for senior citizens and cancer patients. Railway zones have been instructed to assign senior-level officers to monitor the drive. Instances of ticketless travel have been on the rise, with 3.6 crore passengers apprehended during the fiscal year 2022-23, a significant increase from the previous year. Indian Railways has also introduced special train services for Diwali and Chhath to accommodate the surge in travelers.
