The Hindu
Concessions such as those for senior citizens, patients and students were withdrawn in December 2020
Madurai MP, Su. Venkatesan, has appealed to Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, to restore passenger concessions for railway journeys.
In a memorandum handed over to the Minister in New Delhi on Friday, Mr. Venkatesan welcomed the restoration of most of the train services that were cancelled owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, 53 concessions given to almost 21.75 crore passengers have not been given back except in the case of railway employees. Even for railway employees, the introduction of the e-pass system has restricted their travel facility, the memorandum said.
