There is no plan to charge more fare for extra luggage in Indian Railways trains. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has termed the news going on in this regard as false. According to a report by Aaj Tak, the Railway Minister said that no new rule has been implemented regarding the weight of passengers’ luggage. He said that the rules that have been made earlier regarding the luggage carried by passengers in trains are applicable, no changes have been made in them.
It is worth noting that recently some media reports claimed that the railways are also going to implement strict rules on luggage like airlines. Under this, extra fare will be charged for weight above the prescribed limit. Electronic luggage machines like airports will be installed at stations and the weight and size of the bag will be checked. It was also said that a fine will be charged for luggage above the prescribed limit and without booking.
12 thousand special trains will run
Indian Railways has decided to run more than 12000 special trains for the convenience of passengers on Diwali and Chhath festival, which will facilitate the passengers to go to their villages. Railways will soon release the schedule of these special trains, so that passengers can make reservations in time. This time the Railways will take the help of AI to provide better facilities to the passengers.
Special trains from Delhi will go towards the east i.e. Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal, Assam. This will include major cities like Barauni, Samastipur, Saharsa, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Gorakhpur, Jaynagar, Darbhanga, Jogbani, Patna, Kolkata, Guwahati, Howrah, Muzaffarpur, Katihar, Tatanagar, Lucknow.
Railway Minister refuted the opposition’s allegations on special trains
The Railway Minister also clarified the opposition’s allegations of running 12 thousand special trains on Diwali and Chhath in view of the Bihar elections. He said, “Diwali and Chhath are big festivals, lakhs of people go home. Last year seven thousand special trains were run. A large number of trains also ran during Maha Kumbh. What was the connection of running 400 special trains on Ganpati festival in Maharashtra with the elections? We run trains not keeping the elections in mind, but keeping the needs of the passengers in mind.”
