Pakistan Railways has recovered Rs 860,740 during a sweeping crackdown on passengers traveling without tickets, following a series of continuous inspections led by Deputy Chief Commercial Manager Passenger Nasir Nazir.

Railway officials said the Headquarters Ticketless Checking Squad, working under Nazir’s supervision, carried out surprise inspections on multiple trains across the country. Teams took action against 345 passengers found traveling without valid tickets.

The operation covered major sections including Lahore–Sahiwal, Sahiwal–Khanewal, Lahore–Faisalabad, Faisalabad–Shorkot, and Khanewal–Rohri.

Authorities conducted checks on several key trains, among them Allama Iqbal Express, Tezgam, Khyber Mail, Awam Express, Pakistan Express, Shalimar Express, Millat Express, and Rehman Baba Express.

Nasir Nazir said the crackdown will continue as part of the department’s efforts to safeguard revenue and curb fare evasion. He added that the campaign follows directives issued by Federal Minister for Railways Muhammad Hanif Abbasi, Pakistan Railways CEO Amir Ali Baloch, and Chief Commercial Manager Tariq Anwar Sipra.
