The Railway Ministry has introduced a new rule to help athletes traveling for competitions. According to a circular issued on June 25 from New Delhi, players can now carry javelins and other heavy sports gear on trains. This permission applies even if the equipment exceeds the standard size limits usually set by the railways.
What equipment is allowed under the new rules?
Athletes are now permitted to carry heavy sports equipment, specifically including javelins, regardless of their size. The Ministry issued this directive to ensure that sports persons do not face difficulties while transporting their professional gear to various venues.
Which items are not included in this exemption?
While most heavy gear is now allowed, the Ministry has clearly stated that pole vault poles are not part of this relaxation. The rules for carrying pole vault poles remain unchanged, and they are not covered under this specific size exemption circular.
