ZRUCC member against charging higher rates for tickets already booked
Praveen Dabli, a member of the Zonal Railway Users Consultative Committee (ZRUCC), has made it openly clear that he is against charging new ticket rates to passengers who had booked their tickets before to the new rates are implemented. While the ministry of railways has announced that new rates will be made effective from midnight of January 21, passengers who had paid and booked their tickets as long as three months ago are being asked to pay the difference in amount, according to Dabli. Dabli states that this is an additional burden to travelers who already have to grapple with rise in food prices in the Railways, and has made a public appeal to the Ministry to review this decision.
Dabli has also opposed the Railway practice of halting trains at unscheduled stations at the behest of passengers, terming it uneconomic since, and has demanded that additional stations be added to railway schedules instead.
