Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw addressed demands to reinstate pre-Covid fare concessions for senior citizens and media persons, stating that every train passenger already receives a 55% concession on their journey. Without giving any direct reply to questions by media persons on the restoration of concessions, Vaishnaw, during a visit to Ahmedabad to oversee the bullet train project’s progress, said that the Indian Railways is already offering 55% concession on fares to each passenger.
Vaishnaw was in Ahmedabad to review the progress of the ongoing bullet train project among other things.
