Indian Railways to eliminate uneconomical train stoppages
The Indian Railways has decided to end uneconomical train stoppages, made over the years on request by state governments and Members of Parliament, to increase the speed of trains. As per the rules, the cost of stoppages, which ranges from â¹12,716 to â¹24,506, should be recovered. Further, no new stoppages are to be provided for trains passing at odd hours.
