Pune: The decision of the Pune train division recently to increase the price of a platform ticket to RS50, from the previous RS10, to control the crowd has attracted leaves from residents.

The official said those who helped senior citizens, people with special needs and pregnant women, could buy platform tickets with increased tariffs from the counter.
“Officials at the counter will ask the ticket buyer about the urgency going to the platform and will only provide one ticket if the first is sure.
If the buyer does not have the problem above, the officer who comes to drop they will not be given a ticket even if he is ready to pay RS50,” Jhawar said.
Harsha Shah, Chairman of the Railroad Pravency Group, told Tii, “Full train.
Even the general compartment is full of social distance passengers will drop them.
Even healthy people will face problems if their servants are now permitted on the platform because many carry many luggage with them.
