Several news reports have indicated that Indian Railways plans to introduce a pilot project on key railway stations throughout India to regulate luggage policy and increase revenue from the station.
According to reports, this step is focused on regulating luggage policy across railway stations and reflects the one at the airport airports.
However, the Minister of Railway Union Ashwini Vaishnaw called all these reports “absolute false news”. During an interview with the news channel Vaishnaw, he said the luggage rules had existed for decades on the railway.
“Some have chosen existing rules and have been doing stories about them. It’s an absolute false news. The rules have been there for decades,” Viashnaw said in an interview.
What are the rules?
Indian railways specify free personal luggage additions based on travel class, allowing 70 kg in AC First Class, 50 kg in AC 2 levels, 40 kg in AC 3 levels and 35 kg in the second class or general compartment and second -class session.
Although there is a certain freedom, usually exceeding the prescribed limits of a fine, which may be 1.5 times what the passenger would pay at the station for excess standard luggage.
Absolute fake news. The rules have been there for decades.
India has the largest and busiest railway network in the world. Indian railways serve as a rescue rope for millions of passengers daily.
