Almost every person in the country must have travelled by train at least once. Even today, lakhs of people travel by train in the country every day. Travelling by train is not only cheaper but also saves time. But there are many such facilities available to passengers travelling by train, about which they are not aware.
Many facilities are provided to women by Indian Railways. In today's article, we will tell you about the facilities available to women on the train.
How can women travel without tickets?
Do you know that if a woman has boarded the train without a ticket, TTE cannot remove her from the train? Indian Railways has a rule that if a woman is travelling alone on a train and does not have a pass ticket, then she cannot be deboarded from the train.
Keep in mind that TTE can charge you fine, but cannot force you to get down at any railway station. If such an incident happens to you, you can complain about it.
Facilities available to female students
Very few girls know about this facility provided by Railways. Railways allow girls to travel free second class through MST till graduation. Apart from this, students giving interviews for central or state government jobs also get different facilities on the train.
Unemployed youth get 100 percent discount on second class tickets and 50 percent discount on sleeper class.
These women get discounts on train tickets
Keep in mind that if any woman has ever been awarded the President Police Medal or the Indian Police Award, then she gets 60 percent discount on train tickets.
Apart from this, if a woman's husband has been martyred in the war, then she also gets 45 percent discount on some coaches of the train.
