Indian Railways is the fourth largest rail network in the world and lakhs of people travel through it every day. And make your journey easier. Railways also provides many modern facilities to the people, for which railway fare is generally charged.
But it would have happened very rarely that you would have heard that the Railways has reduced the ticket fare and often you would have heard that the Railways has increased the ticket price. Also, let me tell you that on Wednesday, Northern Railway has made a big announcement of 50 percent reduction in rail fares in Kashmir Valley.
People are going to get direct benefit from this. This decision is definitely going to bring great relief to the passengers using trains in Kashmir Valley. In this regard, it has been said that ordinary second class fare has been restored for the passengers.
Meaning, now the train fare has been reduced by 40 to 50 percent. Before this relief, the fare from Sadura station (Anantnag district) to Srinagar was Rs 35. Which has now reduced to just Rs 15. There is a wave of happiness among the people due to this.
