NEW DELHI: Can a hike in the price of platform tickets curb the nuisance of alarm chain pulling in trains? This may sound bizarre but the Central Railway (CR), headquartered in Mumbai, has resorted to this with effect from May 9 in response to frequent incidents of alarm chain pulling in trains at Mumbai’s many stations.
Shivaji M Sutur, the chief spokesperson of Central Railway, admitted that the decision to hike the price of platform tickets was taken not only to check crowds but also to target the misuse of alarm chain pulling.
