Railway Ministry to Stop 'Chain-Pulling' Once and For All
08th June 2015
The Indian Railway Ministry decided to do away with "To stop train pull chain" notice from all the coaches. Officials have initiated the work in removing the chains from all trains.
A new method of stopping the train will be in place where the passengers can contact the driver and assistant driver in case of an emergency.
A official told that railways have incurred loss over Rs 3000 crores due to people pulling the chain for no good reason. The Union Minister of State for Railways, Manoj Sinha has previously said that chain pulling was a big menace in UP and Bihar which resulted in frequent delays in trains.
There won't be anymore chains in the new coaches that are being manufactured as the official notification has been sent to the rail coach factories. The mobile numbers of the driver and the assistant driver will be displayed instead of the chains and further an employee will be present with a walkie talkie in every three coaches who can assist the passengers in case of emergency.
