Railways to switch off train charging points at night
The Railway Board has renewed its order to turn off charging points in trains during night hours. It follows an incident in the South Eastern Railway zone, where staff reportedly missed the switch-off window and a power bank exploded while a phone was charging.
ContextContext: Power banks and phone batteries can overheat or catch fire when charged badly, and Indian trains carry millions of passengers overnight. Battery fire risks are a recurring safety concern, so rules for onboard sockets matter to travellers.
