Section 67 of Railway act prescribes that:-

1. No person shall take with him on a railway, or require a railway administration to carry such dangerous or offensive goods, as may be prescribed, except in accordance with the provisions of this section.

2. Non person shall take with him in a railway the goods referred to in sub-section (1) unless he gives a notice in writing of their dangerous or offensive nature to the railway servant authorized in this behalf.

3. No person shall entrust the goods referred to in sub-section (1) to a railway servant authorized in this behalf for carriage unless he distinctly marks on the outside of the package containing such goods their dangerous or offensive nature and gives a notice in writing of their dangerous or offensive nature to such railway servant.

4. If any railway servant has reason to believe that goods contained in a package are dangerous or offensive and notice as required under sub-section (2) or sub-section(3), as the case may be, in respect of such goods is not given, he may cause such package to be opened for the purpose of ascertaining its contents.

5. Notwithstanding anything contained in this section, any railway servant may refuse to accept any dangerous or offensive goods for carriage or stop, in transit, such goods or cause the same to be removed, as the case may be, if he has reason to believe that the provisions of this section for such carriage are not compiled with.

6. Nothing in this section shall be constructed to derogate from the provisions of the Indian Explosives Act, 1884 (4 of 1884), or any rule or order made under that Act, and nothing in sub-sections (4) and (5) shall be constructed to apply to any goods entrusted for carriage by order or on behalf of the Government or to any goods which a soldier, sailor, airman or any other officer of the armed forces of the Union or a police officer or a member of the Territorial Army of the National cadet Corps may take with him on a railway in the course of his employment or duty as such.

However passengers tend to carry inflammable and dangerous materials like firecrackers, petroleum products, explosives etc., resulting in fire accidents and loss of human life.

Suggest solutions for reducing fire accidents due to carrying of inflammable materials by passengers.

Unfortunately there are no fire extinguishers in many of the train compartments.if have railway security officers should check the efficiency before each train departs from the main station.

all the railway TT officers should have a barcoding scanner mobiles for ticket verification, where they can see faces of tickets reserved persons

arrange a free reporting, calling or messaging center where action will be taken immediately without telling a name of person who has reported regarding inflammable materials in train, numbers should be in posters in stations and also in train, if any train compartment is not clean that should also be solved from this toll free and reporting numbers

I would like to suggest that the flammable thing should be kept out of trains. The cooking systems should be totally stopped in the train. The food can be arranged from the forthcoming stations only.

Scanning machines installed at major stations are for name sake, due to their less number as compared to commuters crowd , so such facilities need an expansion immediately,
and then more important is monitoring and frisking activates to be taken more seriously with help of regular drill activities and time to time surprise tests of such facilities installed with
Inter cooperation from diff. security agencies including army in order to ensure zero tolerance to safety of commuters and Railway.
