Section 144(2) of the Railway Act, 1989

Section 144(2) of the Railway Act, 1989:

It says that if any person begs in any railway carriage or at a railway station, he shall be liable for punishment, which prescribes imprisonment for a term that may extend to one year, or with fine that may extend to ₹2,000, or with both.

Why in News?

The Ministry of Railways has proposed to decriminalise begging on trains or railway premises. In this regard, it has called for comments/suggestions on the proposed amendments to the Act..

Birth of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb - [November 3, 1618] This Day in History What happened? On 3 November 1618, Aurangzeb was born in Dahod, Gujarat to Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and his wife Mumtaz Mahal. Biography Aurangzeb was the third son of Shah Jahan. He had three brothers and two sisters. His birth name was Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad. He was the sixth Mughal Emperor and according to many, the last effective one. He assumed the title of Aurangzeb Alamgir after he took the Mughal throne. In 1636, Aurangzeb was appointed the Viceroy of the Deccan. He had successful military campaigns there for his father. He was also appointed the governor of Gujarat, and later of Balkh, Multan and Sindh.

There was no system of primogeniture among the Mughals and it was customary for sons to fight for the throne after the father’s death. W...
