Maha: WR collects Rs 35 lakh from unauthorised passengers in AC compartment of local trains

Mumbai, June 4 (UNI) The Western Railway has collected a fine of Rs 35 lakh and penalised 10,300 unauthorised passengers who were found travelling in AC compartments of Mumbai local trains in a month between April and May 2025, according to a data made available here on Wednesday.

Also, in May, WR realised fines amounting to Rs 5.71 crore through detection of more than 1.04 lakh cases over Mumbai Suburban section.
