Railway Rules: Is it possible to carry alcohol on a train? What do the railway rules say? Know these before you travel..

Indian Railways has once again made it clear that no passenger is allowed to carry alcohol or any other intoxicating beverage on trains. Railway officials stated that carrying alcohol bottles during travel will result in strict action. Especially during the festive and holiday seasons, when millions of people travel, the Railways are extra vigilant about these rules.

Railway Rules: Why Alcohol is Banned
According to railway officials, carrying or consuming alcohol on trains can pose a major security threat. Undisciplined behavior by drunk passengers not only inconveniences other passengers but also impacts train safety. This is why the Railways has imposed a complete ban on alcohol consumption across all its zones and trains. Drinking alcohol on duty is also considered a serious offense for train operation staff.

Extra Luggage Allowed, but No Alcohol
The Railways allow passengers to carry more luggage than buses or flights, but this does not include alcohol. Many passengers carry alcohol with them, believing it's for personal use, but it's illegal under the Railway Act. If a passenger is found with alcohol, they could face a fine or legal action.

Know this important thing before traveling.
During the festive season, when ticket bookings are in full swing and millions of people are returning home, passengers must know that carrying or consuming alcohol on trains is strictly prohibited. If alcohol is banned in a state, possessing alcohol within that state's borders could result in even stricter action. Therefore, it's best to follow railway regulations for a safe and peaceful journey.
