Earlier on April 29, Union Minister of state for Railways Raosaheb Danve Patil procalimed that the fare of AC local trains will be reduced by up to 50 per cent.
He made these statements at the inauguration event of the newly renovated Byculla railway station in the presence of Maharashtra Leader of Opposition Devendra Fadnavis.
