Nashik: The Bombay High Court has directed the state government and the railways to file affidavits on the issue of allocating Monthly Season Tickets (MST) to daily commuters.
The Nashik-based Rail Parishad NX had filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) urging the court to issue directives for issuing monthly tickets to daily commuters travelling between the Nashik region and Mumbai and Pune region and Mumbai via the central railway trains.
The PIL was filed on behalf of thousands of daily commuters who have been suffering during Covid, despite the railways starting services for travellers in Mumbai via the local trains.
