Commercial Circular No.& 6/2015
Sub: Harassment to ticket checking staff by authorities
when theft/pilferage take place in running trains.
National Federation of Indian Railwaymen has furnished agenda for the next
PNM Meeting on the above item, in which Federation has brought out that that the
Ticket Examiners are being put to harassment by authorities when theft/pilferage takes
place in running trains. TTEs are being questioned and asked to give explanation even
though they are not accountable for such incidents.
2. In the above context, attention is drawn to Standing Order no. 39, issued by
Security Directorate, vide letter No.97/Sec(Cr)/45/91 dated 20.08.1997 (copy enclosed),
wherein it has been advised that primary role for ensuring safety and security of the
passengers and protection of their belonging, rests on the Government Railway Police,
who exclusively deal with crime committed on trains and at railway stations. Railway
Protection Force acts as a bridge between GRP/Local Police and Railway
Administration. They are required to actively participate in removing the difficulties of
the passengers in the event of any crime committed in the running trains and liaise with
the concerned GRP for registration of the case in this regard.
3. The duty list of Travelling Ticket Examiners inter-alia include carrying of FIR
Forms and to assist the passengers in filling up the same in the event of any incident of
crime and to hand over the same to RPF escorting party or nearest Post/Outpost for
liaising with GRP for registering the case.
4. Since the primary role for ensuring security of the passengers is of Government
Railway Police in coordination with RPF, it is, therefore, desired that ticket checking
staff, should not be held accountable for any crime taking place in running trains and
should not. be put to harassment by authorities concerned, unless they fail in
performance of their prescribed duties. However, in case any on-board ticket checking
staff is required to attend any enquiry as witness or acquainted with the facts of the case,
~ the Investigation Officer may call him for his examination. \& YO 4
