Railway minister Mukul Roy announces rollback in rail fare hike

Rollback in Rail fare
Roy announced rollback in Rail fare hike in Sleeper class, Chair car and 3rd AC while fares in 1st and 2nd AC will remain unchanged.
Earlier Ex-Railway Minister Dinesh Trivedi during his Rail budget speech had proposed to hike Rail fares by 2 paise per km in ordinary second class and suburban services; by 3 paise in mail/express second class; 5 paise per km in sleeper class; 10 paise per km in AC 3-tier, AC chair car, and non-AC First Class; 15 paise per km in AC two-tier; and 30 paise per km in AC first class.

This was supposed to be the first hike in passenger fares in 10 years.
