Rly Fare relief for male senior citizens
On the suggestion and appeal of Delhi Social Welfare Minister, Kiran Walia,
for granting/extending relief and concession in Rail Travel to male senior
citizens equivalent to female senior citizens, the Minister of Railways,
Government of India, has agreed and granted relief to male senior citizens from
30 per cent to 40 per cent and also has reduced the age of women senior
citizens from 60 years to 58 years. Walia in August 2010 appealed to the Rail
Minister to enhance the concession in rail fare from 30 per cent to 50 per cent
to the male senior citizens equivalent to the women senior citizens who were
already granted rail fare concession to 50 per cent on the argument that there
should be no distinction on the basis of gender, sex, caste, creed and
religion.
