Railways are secretly increasing fares in the Corona Era

On February 13, when a man bought a platform ticket at Ranchi railway station, about 1200 km from Delhi, a ticket of 15 rupees was given to him for 30 rupees. When he asked at the counter that this ticket was for 15 rupees earlier, then the answer has been received yesterday i.e. from February 12, it has become 30 rupees.

On February 13, when a man bought a platform ticket at Ranchi railway station, about 1200 km from Delhi, a ticket of 15 rupees was given to him for 30 rupees. When he asked at the counter that this ticket was for 15 rupees earlier, then the reply has been received yesterday i.e. from February 12, it has become 30 rupees. When this ticket reached Delhi's journalists through WhatsApp and they asked the railway officials, in a very innocent way, the railways said that due to increasing congestion, it may have been decided to increase the money at the DRM level. It was also said that the decision of this method has been taken for many years. There is nothing new in this.

Well 10 days later, on 22 February, a piece of news came that the railways had doubled the fare of passenger trains. When reporters asked the official group of Railways on this news, which was quoted by the sources and some passengers, then it was said with an innocent style that it is not factually correct. Well, despite the news of PIB being sealed with fake news, this news of the newspaper was not declared as fake news. But when the daily passengers on the train started sharing photos of their double-priced tickets, the railways again took out a press note saying that only 3 per cent of the fare was increased to prevent congestion due to the Kovid. . In this press note neither the increase in rent nor the breakup of increased rent was given. Till now, no one is aware of how much fare of about 300 trains has increased. Just got to know that the fare of the ticket which was 30 rupees has been increased by 60 rupees.

Well after about 20 days, now the price of platform ticket of railway station of Delhi has also been increased from 15 rupees to 30 rupees. Here too, due to Kovid, in the name of reducing the crowd, the people have been allowed to relax their pockets. There are many historical things in the name of Indian Railways but railway officials have definitely set a new record for making innocent excuses for secretly increasing fares.

Thank you Railway, in this corona disaster, you first quota of the elderly. Pantry, blankets, sheet curtains all finished. On cancellation of waiting ticket, more than 100 rupees of money was deducted. Then by putting a zero in front of the number of each train, the money for the special train started being charged. All this is now new normal when there is no clear fact of railway on increased fares, fares are increased first, excuse comes later, it is believed that the railways have lost about Rs. It is secretly that you recover more money by charging more money from the passengers. But even if you have to increase the rent, at least tell the facts in a transparent manner. The more you confuse the passenger with the increased fares of the train, the more the passenger will be confused.
