During the ambush check at Sonarpur, a total of 206 without ticket passengers were regularised and 42 cases of unbooked luggage were charged. This resulted in realisation of about ₹62,000/- as Railway revenue.
Additionally, 160 passengers were counselled by the Vigilance Department of Eastern Railway on purchasing tickets from UTS counters and through the UTS-On-Mobile App. It may be noted that most of the without ticket passengers were boarded the train from Diamond Harbour, Canning, Hotor, Ghutiarisharif & Sangrampur stations of Sealdah South section.
