GUWAHATI: The decision of the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) to resume passenger train service on a regular basis for the first time since last year’s lockdown may ease inter and intra-state passenger movement but will certainly pinch the pockets of travellers because of a near three-fold hike in passenger fare.
To start plying the five pairs of passenger trains again, the NFR has published special restoration notices recently. However, the train status showing ‘unreserved mail/express ticketing’ has surprised local passengers, who were expecting some relief from the ‘exorbitant fare’ that they have been paying for months in private commercial passenger vehicles for their journey in the absence of passenger trains. After the lockdown was withdrawn last year, only one pair of passenger trains between New Bongaigaon-Guwahati was operating on a pilot basis in the NFR zone.
AAI officials said that a reversing trend has been noticed since April 14 at northeast airports and Guwahati airport in particular, which records the maximum footfall in the region.
GUWAHATI: Stricter screening to save the northeastern states from a fresh Covid-19 surge has cut down on the number of air passengers coming to the region, whose numbers were higher than those exiting from the region.
Officials at the Airports Authority of India (AAI) said that a reversing trend has been noticed since April 14 at northeast airports and Guwahati airport in particular, which records the maximum footfall in the region.
As per figures furnished by AAI sources, 10,010 passengers arrived in the northeast on April 14, against 10,825 passengers exiting from various NE airports.
