The alarm chain on trains is designed for emergencies only. If someone uses it without any serious reason, in such cases it can lead to serious punishments. Tap to read!
The alarm chain is a red handle located inside train coaches, typically positioned near doorways or windows. Pulling this chain activates the emergency brake system which stops the train.
The alarm chain should be pulled only in real emergencies, such as medical crises, fires, or any situation that threatens life. This is vital to protect all passengers on board.
Using the emergency chain without valid reason is considered a punishable offense under Section 141 of the Indian Railways Act.
Misusing the alarm chain could result in serious penalties, including a fine of up to ₹1,000 or even up to one year in prison.
Your actions contribute to the safety and punctuality of everyone on the train. By using the alarm chain judiciously, you're helping to ensure a smooth and secure journey for all passengers.
