Title - Special RPF teams to crack down on touts

Three days after TOI began a campaign highlighting the difficulties faced by passengers trying to book tatkal tickets — touts crowding booking counters and online portals not being the least — the Railway Protection Force (RPF) has set up two special teams to crack down on the fraudsters.
    Given the summer rush, policing will be stepped up at stations — particularly ticketing offices — to swoop down on unauthorized vendors and ticket canvassers.
    “The intensified checks by the Delhi division led to the arrest of 73 people involved in canvassing tickets, hotels and taxis in the three days since TOI highlighted the problem,” said divisional railway manager (Delhi) Anurag Sachan.
