Personnel of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the Commercial Department conducted raids on the platforms and on moving trains in Rajamahendravaram on Wednesday.
The personnel caught 20 unauthorised hawkers, who were allegedly selling water bottles and other food items on the station premises and in the trains.

Cases were registered by the RPF under Section 144 (Prohibition on Hawking) of the Railway Act, 1989, against the hawkers.
