Several unique pictures and funny memes go viral on the internet every day. Recently, a picture of a couple kissing while hanging outside the train door is doing rounds on social media. The picture has been captioned- “What’s stopping you from doing this?”
The savage reply of IRTS officer, Rahman Sheikh will make you go lol. Tagging the official handle of Indian Railway Traffic Service, Sheikh wrote, “Section 156 of The Railways Act,1989. @IRTSassociation”

Several users of the microblogging site have reacted on his epic reply. Here are some of the reactions:
“Section 249 and 263 of “aas paas ki aunty log ki gali Act.”
“This is called armaaano pe paaani phekna!!! Nice one!”
“Is it applicable to Mumbai local trains. There are probably as many people “hanging out” as there are inside”.
“Yes, this is stupidity of the highest order. Endangering your life and others too. Don’t ever try this!”
What is Section 156 of The Railways Act,1989?
Travelling on roof, step or engine of a train.—If any passenger or any other person, after being warned by a railway servant to desist, persists in travelling on the roof, step or footboard of any carriage or on an engine, or in any other part of a train not intended for the use of passengers, he shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to three months, or with fine which may extend to five hundred rupees, or with both and may be removed from the railway by any railway servant.
