According to the Railway Manual, every person visiting the premises can be a potential railway passenger. It is possible that he would have bought a ticket after reaching the station. Hence, the responsibility of treatment lies with the railway.

Railways New Rules: If any accident happens to anyone anywhere in the train, railway station or even on the station premises, then the responsibility of treatment lies with the Indian Railways. The surprising thing here is that whether the victim has a train ticket or not. But the priority of the railways will be to get the injured person treated immediately. It is important for you to know this rule of Indian Railways.

There are more than 7000 railway stations across the country. This includes A, B, C and D category stations. More than 2 crore passengers travel from here daily and more than 10000 trains operate. Apart from premium trains, it includes express, mail and passenger trains.

Generally, passengers will know that if an accident happens in the train, then the responsibility of treatment of every injured passenger lies with the railways, until he recovers. Apart from this, there is also a provision for compensation.

This is the special rule

According to the Indian Railway Manual, if a person reaches the platform or station to travel by train or reaches the station premises and during that time an untoward incident happens with the passenger due to which he gets injured. It is the responsibility of the railway to immediately take him to the hospital and get him treated. Irrespective of whether the victim has any kind of ticket or not.

This is why there is a rule to treat the injured in the station premises. However, if a person is without a ticket and this is proved in the investigation, the railway will take action against him as per the rules later. Treatment of an injured person cannot be stopped on the basis of not having a ticket. It is important for everyone to know this rule of Indian Railways.
