The Jammu Division of Northern Railway, while focusing on enhancing passenger convenience and safety, has recorded a significant increase in railway revenue through monthly ticket checking campaigns conducted across various railway stations and trains. These ticket checking campaigns are conducted under the guidance of the Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Uchit Singhal.
Under his direction, the ticket checking staff at each station and onboard trains carry out detailed inspections. The primary objective of these campaigns is to ensure a comfortable, safe, and convenient travel experience for passengers holding valid tickets.
Since the formation of the Jammu Division, the ticket checking campaigns conducted from April 2025 to December 2025 have identified approximately 54,098 passengers traveling without valid tickets or irregularly, resulting in revenue collection of around Rs. 3.73 crore. This is a remarkable achievement considering the Jammu Division is newly formed and continues to operate with limited resources and manpower.
