Opposition leaders hit out at Railway ministry over pick and drop lane charges at Chandigarh station

Amid growing resentment over several irregularities in recently introduced pick and drop lane system at Chandigarh Railway station, a bunch of Opposition leaders on Tuesday hit out at the Union Ministry of railways for charging exorbitant rates for visitors.

Congress MP from Anandpur Sahib, Manish Tewari, on Tuesday raked the issue up on social media, with a tweet by the leader tagging Union Railway Minister, Ashwini Vaishnaw. Manish Tewari on Tuesday tweeted, “Dear @AshwiniVaishnaw ji, There is a strange level of extortion going on at Chandigarh Railway Station. Charging 1000 Rupees for one hour of parking is nuts (for lack of a better word). Kindly intervene and rescind it ASAP.”
