00:00 Pakistan Railways has increased the train fare by 10% after the increase in diesel prices.
00:05 Anjum Wahab will give you more details.
00:07 Yes, after the new government, the prices of diesel and petrol will increase.
00:14 Pakistan Railways has also announced an increase of 10% in train fare.
00:17 It will be applied from 17th August.
00:19 It will be applied on all the mail, express, shuttle, passenger and intercity trains.
00:25 It will be applied on current and advance booking from 17th August.
00:29 The current booking will be applied on old train fare.
00:32 But after 12 pm, the new booking will be applied on 10% increase in train fare.
00:36 In this regard, we have issued an order to IT department, all divisional subordinates and DCOs to not follow this.
00:43 So Anjum, have the transporters also increased the fare?
00:46 Yes, absolutely.
00:48 If we look at the other side, the transporters, the intercity buses,
00:53 they have also increased the fare by Rs. 200 to Rs. 500.
00:59 The fare before the Adhrabaad and Larkana was Rs. 600 to Rs. 800.
01:02 Now it is Rs. 200.
01:06 So the transporters have also increased the fare.
01:09 The passengers who are travelling by train and buses,
01:12 they have to say that because of the increase in petrol and diesel prices,
01:16 everything has become expensive and the travel has become expensive.
01:19 So if you have to go for an important work or to meet family,
01:23 you have to check whether you have money in your pocket or not.
01:26 Then you can leave the house to travel.
01:28 Anjum, thank you.
