DYFI announces statewide protests over railway fare increase
DYFI will stage statewide protests on December 24, alleging railway fare hikes and premium pricing practices unfairly burden passengers and amount to systematic overcharging.
Opposition to the recent railway fare hike is set to intensify as the plans coordinated protests across the State on December 24. State secretary V.K. Sanoj said demonstrations will be held in front of railway stations to highlight what the group views as excessive financial burden on passengers. The organisation accused the railways of unfair practices, citing premium tatkal pricing, higher fares on special trains, and steep cancellation charges for waitlisted passengers, and argued that these measures disproportionately impact ordinary travellers.
