New Delhi: Parliament on Thursday passed the
Rail Budget 2012-13 after the government announced a roll back of hike
in passenger fares for all classes except AC 2 Tier and First Class.
The
budget and related appropriation bills were first passed by the Lok
Sabha unanimously and later returned by the Rajya Sabha by voice vote.
New
Railway Minister Mukul Roy, who was inducted into the Union Cabinet and
the Railway Ministry on Tuesday, announced in both Houses of Parliament
the roll back of the fare increase for second class suburban and
non-suburban, Sleeper, AC Chair Car and AC 3-tier, dubbing it as a "huge
drain" on the pocket of masses.
Roy, however, left untouched the
increase of 15 paise per km and 30 paise per km respectively in
passenger fares in AC 2-tier and AC-I announced by Trivedi in the
Railway Budget only last week.
