"We are trying to see how can we do some rationalisation of passenger fares...That process is on," Railway Finance Commissioner Pompa Babbar told PTI.
However, Babbar hastened to add, “We are trying to see how not to burden the poor people and how not going for massive hike, perhaps something here and there.”
