The Western Railway on Tuesday conducted a massive check at Andheri station involving 199 ticket-checking staff under the 'Mera Ticket Mera Imaan' initiative by the Mumbai Central Division.

"It broke all previous records, and resulted in the detection of 2,693 errant travellers and recovery of Rs 7,14,077 as a penalty," an official said.

On Saturday, 195 ticket-checking staff checked Dadar Station (Western Railway) in the morning and by the end of the day, the drive detected 1,647 cases making a recovery of Rs. 4,21,960', thus making it one of the Biggest Fortress Check in the history of Indian Railways.
