Using mobile phones in speaker mode in trains and railway premises attracts removal from railway premises, fine and imprisonment

Southern Railway clarified that using mobile phones in speaker mode on trains and at railway premises can lead to removal from the premises, fines, and imprisonment. The rule follows the Railways Act, amended by the Jan Vishwas Act, which treats loud speaking as a nuisance. This enforcement is part of an effort to reduce noise pollution and passenger discomfort.
