Indian Railways termed the matter of the cost of rent as baseless.
Indian Railways: There is a lot of relief news for railway passengers. A day earlier, on January 5, rumors about increasing railway fares were spreading very fast, on which the Indian Railways denied that no such decision has been taken. Indian Railways said that no proposal has been made to increase passenger fares, in such a situation that the fare is expensive is baseless.
Certain sections of media have reported about possibility of some hike in passenger fares. This news is baseless & without any factual basis. There is no proposal under consideration to increase fares. Media is advised to not to publish or circulate such reports: Indian Railways
