Press Note

Ludhiana : 26.02.2013



The railways budget announced by the Honb'le Railway Minister Sh. Pawan Bansal today i.e. 26.02.2013 shows the increase in the railway freight to the tune of 5% has been considered to be very discouraging for the industry specially. The industry was expecting some concession like decrease in the railway freight or totally abolished but it has brought discontentment among the industry specially cycle & cycle parts who send their product to other state with the result the price of cycle will go up and poor man will not be able to bear this increase. The cycle industry has already requested the Honb'le Railway Minister to start a Nonstop Shatabdi Express from Ludhiana to Delhi as there is no air connectivity facility is available but instead of the assurance given him, it has not been done. With the result, the congestion of the passengers at main railway station will remain the same.

The increase in the freight will not only effect the industry but also to the public as they will have to pay more price for the purchase of cycle & cycle Parts who are far of the Punjab.

In order to give some relief to the industry we again request the Honb'le Minister to exceed to our request already submitted to him so that the industry may not suffer.
