Title - 23 special trains earned railway 7 crore 60 lakh rupees

Adding special trains to its fleet on important routes has been a hit for Indian Railways. Nor does it provide some extra cash to railway but these trains also do not demand any special service for the passengers.

Bilaspur rail zone has come out with the numbers and the number suggests that Railway might earn good this festive season compared to the last year. As many 23 special trains were ran by the Bilaspur zone that returned a profit of Rs 7 crore 60 lakh.

Apart from this a total of 23 lakh 44 thousand passengers travelled in last 6 months from Bilaspur rail Zone that earned railway 168 crore 13 thousand rupees. What is striking that Railway also earned Rs. 3 crore and 78 lakh from 91,000 cases of travelling without ticket or on an altered ticket intentionally. Railway says that there is a 13% increase in such incidents compared to last year.
