Ludhiana, February 26, 2013: Reacting to the Union Rail Budget the district unit of the Communist Party of India has said that increase in the surcharge on bookings will lead to automatic increase in the rail fare for the passengers; so is the rise in the cancellation fee. Therefore it is an indirect burden on the people, a party release said.
Moreover no steps have been taken to improve the working for the railways particularly the condition of the coaches in the ordinary sleeper class.
The party’s Assistant Secretary Dr. Arun Mitra said condition of the stations have not been given due importance. Security has also been ignored by and large. Freight charges increase will lead to excess burden on the people
