Santanu Sen raised, during Zero Hour, the issue of the need for a discount ticketing scheme for poor commuters on the railways
Sir, we know that a huge number of passengers travel by railway. When Madam Mamata Banerjee was the Railway Minister, she started one project called ‘Izzat’ monthly season ticket by the help of which one person used to travel 100 kms. per day by spending only Rs.25 for the entire month. Now we know that major part of the rail is being privatized and the rail ticket, monthly ticket and platform ticket are becoming costly day-by-day. My humble submission before the Government is, considering the poor section of the commuters who travel
by railway every day, please start one scheme like ‘Izzat’ monthly or whatever, which can benefit them and by paying a small amount, they can travel a significant distance per day. Thank you very much.
