price for passenger trains has remained at 30 rupees, even though it was previously 10 rupees. Passengers are demanding that the old prices be restored and that the senior citizen discount be reinstated.

Indian Railways ne COVID ke time mein ticket rates mein 200% ki badhi thi, woh khud karne ka promise kiya tha, par abhi tak zyadatar trains mein yeh apply nahin hua hai. Aur 4 saal pehle senior citizens ke liye jo discount tha, woh bhi abhi tak restore nahin kiya gaya...
