Speaking to media, Railway Board Chairman Vinod Kumar Yadav said that there is already a fixed system for deciding the fare of special trains. This system was created in 2015, according to which the fare of special trains is determined.
He stated that there has been no change in this system and even today the fare of special trains is being decided under the same.
It is noteworthy that the Congress party has alleged that the fares of special trains have been increased by 25 to 30 per cent by the Railways.
