Title : Need to rescind the order declaring Godavari and Panchavati Express trains as Super-Fast besides reviewing the hike in their fares.
SHRI HARISHCHANDRA CHAVAN (MALEGAON): As Government has decided to run the Godavari & Panchavati express as a superfast w.e.f. 1 July, 2006 and also there is hike by Rs. 10/- in fare charges. The travellers of this train are mostly poor students, weaker section workers and pass holders which is a burden on them due to hike in fare charges. I had also gone on a hunger strike with leaders of all the parties over this issue. The participation of the people was one of the major issue, even though the DRM has not taken the cognisance of this matter.
Sir, considering these issues through you, I urge the Government to cancel these disputable trains as a superfast and the increase in fair.
