What to do if your phone falls off while travelling on train? Whom to call

Standing by a train's open door, enjoying the wind and scenery is fun - until you get lost in thoughts and accidentally drop your wallet or phone. Of late, many have been accidentally dropping their phones while travelling on a train. However, many are also resorting to pulling the chain—intended for emergencies—after dropping their phone. Recently, the Railway Police Force said that pulling the emergency chain in trains without any genuine reason or if your mobile phone accidentally falls out of a moving train is a punishable offence. 

What's the punishment
Pulling the emergency chain after accidentally dropping your mobile phone may lead to a fine of Rs 1000 or imprisonment up to one year or both.

What can you do?
Do not panic in case you drop your mobile phone. After noting the exact location where you dropped the phone, quickly inform the railway authorities, railway police, or the RPF. These are the numbers you could dial in such cases:
Railway helpline – 139
RPF helpline – 182

What details to give them?
1) Your train number, 
2) Seat number 
3) Personal passenger ID details 
RPF officers would reach the spot where the phone was dropped and search to recover it. The retrieved items would then be returned to the owners. 

When can you pull the chain?
The RPF stated that passengers could pull the emergency chain to stop the train if their mobile phone, gold ornaments, money or other valuables had been stolen.
