Railways may fine you Rs 1,000 or imprison you for up to six months for playing loud music or videos on trains; awareness drive planned

Railway authorities plan to raise awareness regarding noise caused by mobile phones in trains and stations. Announcements will inform passengers that such behavior may result in fines or imprisonment. Previous complaints highlighted the increasing nuisance from loud music and videos played openly. Enforcement of these regulations will be more assertive following recent amendments to railway laws. Passenger associations have expressed concerns about the feasibility of enforcement due to staffing shortages.
