Given the rise in fake ticket incidents coming to light on the Mumbai suburban rail network, the Central Railway and Western Railway jointly decided on Friday to impose stricter enforcement measures, including having to produce the identity card that was used while booking the online season ticket. The identity card must correspond to the details on the season ticket presented.

Additionally, there will be fortress checks on AC locals, which will involve ticket checkers swooping on the entire train. Rail authorities have also requested the Government Railway Police (GRP) to expedite cases of forgery for tangible action against the accused.
