Due to the coronavirus scare, the Indian Railways have increased the platform tickets in 250 stations. The new prices will be Rs 50 from Rs 10.

This increase is a temporary measure to control the crowd.

The official further said that the Western Railways has increased the platform ticket fare to Rs 50 in 6 Divisions – Mumbai, Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Ratlam, Rajkot, Bhavnagar, till further orders.’’

He, however, added that the increase in the platform ticket prices is a temporary measure to contain an extra load of people in the railway premises.

The people will be checked thoroughly by the officials in risky stations.
