Alarm chain
Ever wondered why your train keeps getting delayed or why it takes forever to move between two particular stations? Constant pulling of the alarm chain could be one of the reasons, according to railway officials. Speaking to mid-day, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) officials revealed that Alarm Chain Pulling (ACP) cases have been skyrocketing since January this year. 923 cases were reported on the Central Railway while Western Railway saw the occurrence of 212 cases during the same period.
