Kumar currently holds the stellar distinction of having collected the highest amount in fines in CR history i.e. Rs 2.12 crore from 22,996 ticketless travellers in 2022-’23.
“Dharmendra Kumar topped the list and set an all-time record, collecting Rs 2.12 crore from 22,996 ticketless passengers in 2022-2023. This is the highest ever in the history of CR.
Another ticket checker (TC) named S B Galande collected Rs 2 crore. Dharmendra’s colleague, S B Galande isn’t far behind, having collected Rs 200 lakh (₹2 crore) from 22,384 passengers,” said a CR official.
This is the first ‘double hundred’ (200 lakhs) notched up by a CR ticket checker.
Dharmendra Kumar fined nearly 76 ticketless pax a day
‘Ticketless’ passengers in this context refers to those without a valid ticket for the compartment they are travelling in, and includes, for instance, someone travelling in a first-class compartment on a second-class ticket.
Dharmendra Kumar’s tally of 22,996 ticketless passengers works out to 76 a day, assuming he worked around 300 days last year. For context, the average TC fines eight ticketless passengers a day andcollects about Rs 2,000,which works out to Rs 6.3 lakh annually.
The gross salary of a ticket checker is between Rs 45,000 and Rs 80,000 a month, depending on seniority.
Other TCs who cross Rs 1 cr mark
Apart from this, the other 21 ticket checkers of CR who crossed the Rs 1-crore mark in the last financial year are: Sunil D Nainani, H A Wagh, S S Kshirsagar , R M Gore, K K Patel, Vinay Ojha, S V Iyer, N B Kolekar, P M Gunjal, Allwyn Dyanprakash, P V Thakur, Bhim Reddy, S K Gupta, B V Upoor, S S Baghel, Guddu Kumar, S V Raut, R K Gupta, B U Pawar, M M Shinde and R D Bahot. Of those crossing the Rs one-crore mark (including those who crossed the Rs 2-crore mark), 13 belong to the Principal Chief Commercial Manager (PCCM) flying squad, including Dharmendra Kumar and S B Galande.
PCCM Flying Squad
The PCCM flying squad is a team of more than two dozen TCs attached to the CR headquarters, authorised to collect fines from passengers on both local and long-distance trains. Members of this squad can also check tickets in the entire central railway jurisdiction, including the Mumbai, Pune, Solapur, Bhusawal and Nagpur divisions.
Apart from the 13 TCs of the PCCM flying squad, four TCs of this club belong to the Mumbai division of CR while four others belong to the Bhusawal division and the remaining two are from the Pune division of CR.
“TCs from the PCCM flying squad are constantly motivated to perform at their best while being given support and complete freedom,” according to a senior CR official. Their work, and the income they bring, is assessed regularly at the CR headquarters, he said.
“Central Railway has the privilege of the highest number of ‘crorepati’ ticket-checking staff. In all, 23 ticket-checking staff have realised more than Rs one crore in the last financial year,” officials further added.
Super TCs felicitated by CR General Manager
CR General Manager Naresh Lalwani felicitated these super ticket checkers on Tuesday and also announced a cash award of Rs one lakh for the commercial department (ticket-checking staff belong to this department) for commendable work.
Dharmendra Kumar, who has been a TC for more than 20 years, said, “Seminars are conducted to guide us and this has brought a drastic change in our work culture. The best performers – both on the number of passengers and fines collected – are rewarded regularly. This acknowledgement and appreciation of our hard work motivates us to go beyond the call of duty.”
When asked about his secret to mark out ticketless travellers, Dharmendra Kumar disclosed: “You don’t need to look for them. They keep giving me hints by not making eye contact, or by just trying to hide behind a crowd.” Both Dharmendra Kumar and Galande spend more than 12 hours in trains daily. Asked where he lives, Galande jokes, “In trains. I spend an average of 12 to 13 hours a day on trains. I have two young children, but my wife manages everything well and never forces me to spend more time at home.”

Hafiz Tauseef Ansari arrested for links to Pakistani terrorist organization, other terrorist organizations mislead and trap youth: Investigative agencies claim

After a raid by the Andhra Police ATS and the local police station in Malegaon, Mumbai, the police have claimed to have arrested a suspected youth from the Nomani Nagar area. The above-mentioned youth was active on social media and along with his activities on social media, he was in contact with the enemy country Pakistani terrorist organization. The accused has been arrested on this allegation. Along with this, a case has also been registered against the accused in the Dharmapur Town Police Station in Andhra. Maharashtra ATS and intelligence agencies have also interrogated him. The accused has been identified as Hafiz Tauseef Aslam Ansari. He is a tailor by profession and was also active on social media. Whether he came in contact with the Pakistani terrorist organization knowingly or intentionally, or he knew about it, the police are investigating him. The arrest of Hafiz Tauseef has created a sensation in Malegaon. After the arrest of Tauseef in Malegaon, the police have also seized his mobile phone and other documents and have also expanded the scope of the investigation. An investigation is underway to determine whether he has any criminal case registered against him, along with his suspicious activities and the number of times he has provided information related to India to terrorist organizations. His social media accounts are also being examined and monitored. Earlier, the Maharashtra ATS had arrested several youths, including a young PIO on charges of having links with Pakistani intelligence operatives. Many youths have also been trapped in the PIO’s honey trap. The PIO’s method is such that first the PIO regularly talks to an Indian citizen and the girl then makes her pictures and pornographic videos public. After threatening to make the pornographic chat public, they lure him with money and transfer money to the account. In such a situation, the intelligence agencies are obliged to take action against such youths. There are many youths who unknowingly fall for this misleading propaganda and get badly trapped. Therefore, one should remain alert and avoid the misuse of social media.

Mumbai: Harassment of ordinary Muslims in the name of Bangladeshis should stop, Abu Asim makes serious allegations against the government over Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement

abu azmi
Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader Worker Assembly Abu Asim Azmi criticized the statement of Home Minister Amit Shah and said that it is the responsibility of the Home Minister and the Central Government to take action against Bangladeshi and Pakistani infiltrators. The population of Muslims in India has increased due to Bangladeshis. This is completely wrong. The residents of West Bengal and ordinary Muslims are being targeted under the guise of Bangladeshi and Pakistanis. He said that the government is yours in many states and at the center, so how do Bangladeshi infiltrators enter from the border? What action has the government taken against those who forge their documents so far? He said that targeting Muslims under the guise of Bangladeshi should be stopped, just as Karat Soumya is trying to fake the certificates and documents of every Muslim and is targeting Muslims. He said that the government should pay attention to how Bangladeshi infiltrators infiltrate from the Indian border. This is not the job of Congress, SP or other parties. It is the job of the government to take action against Bangladeshi and Pakistanis and to bring them to justice. But Muslims should not be harassed or disturbed. He said that action is being taken against those officers who are preparing documents for Bangladeshis.
