DELHI METRO 50 PERCENTAGE OFFER FOR TRAVELLERS ON INDEPENDENCE DAY AUGUST 15,2017

DELHI METRO 50 PERCENTAGE OFFER FOR TRAVELLERS ON INDEPENDENCE DAY AUGUST 15,2017
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has decided to offer discount on metro fares tomorrow on the occasion of 71st Independence Day of India. This will be first time a discount has been offered by DMRC to mark the national holiday.
The fare fixation committee had proposed to offer discounts on national holidays - Independence Day, Republic Day and Gandhi Jayanti. This proposal was approved by the Metro board. DMRC had hiked metro fares recently on May 10, 2017, after keeping them unchanged for eight long years.
Decrease in fares
Discounts up to 50 per cent will be offered across various categories based on distance travelled. Travellers going covering five to twelve kilometres will be most to benefit from the discount. While Rs 20 is charged for this distance on normal days, metro travellers will have to pay only Rs 10 for the same distance tomorrow. Similarly, passengers going two to five kilometres, who usually pay Rs 15, will also have to pay Rs 10.
For going 12 to 12 kilometres, passengers will have to pay Rs 20 instead of Rs 30, for 21 to 32 kilometres, the fare will be Rs 30 as against Rs 40. For travelling 32 kilometres or more, passengers will have to pay Rs 40 and not Rs 50.
Moreover, smart card holders will continue to enjoy the 10 per cent reduction in fares they enjoyed earlier.
Metro parking lots to remain closed
The metro parking lots will remain closed on Independence Day, though, causing problems for vehicle owners who might be looking forward to drive to the metro stations.
Parking spots at metro stations were closed from 6:00 am on Monday due to security reasons. This arrangement will remain in place till 2:00 pm tomorrow that is Independence Day.

Court directs Railways to monitor premium car parking at Chennai Central

Court directs Railways to monitor premium car parking at Chennai Central

Railways tells court that a contract for a parking lot to accommodate 61 cars has been awarded.

The Madras High Court on Monday directed the Railways to monitor the premium car parking at Chennai Central Railway Station with its personnel, till a vendor to manage the parking is finalised.

When a petition came up for hearing before the First Bench comprising Chief Justice S.K. Kaul and Justice T.S. Sivagnanam, counsel for Railways produced a document, which stated that a contract for a parking lot to accommodate 61 cars has been awarded.

As for premium car parking to accommodate 48 cars, the tender was to be opened on June 22, he said and assured the court that the tender would be finalised in one month thereafter.

“In the meantime, we direct that qua this premium car parking, the Railways should make arrangements through their own personnel to monitor the same. The Railways can compensate itself by collecting the charges for the premium car parking. Needless to say, the concerned police authorities would render all assistance at the site,” the Bench said.

Petitioner K. Sudhan in his petition sought separate parking lots for private or owner-driven cars and further permit parking of call taxis, tourist cabs and autos only in the designated area.

He also sought to ensure that call taxis, tourist cabs, autos and other categories of commercial vehicles are not allowed to remain stationary for any reason in any part of the railway station.

The petitioner sought a direction to authorities to take action against those who illegally control the car park area.
