the hike was suppose to happen in previous UPA regime but put on hold and left the burden to the current govt.

 

[IndianMascot]

Yes agree but present government should have reduced this burden.

This is a very steep hike. We don't even get this many % of increment yaar.

 

[harshbardhan]

We can expect some relief as NDA partner Shivsena supremo Uddhav Thakre will be calling on PM Modi ji in this regard. He has already expressed displeasure on this issue.

 

[Technoglitch]

increment is just rs.300 for me.

For Mumbaikar it's killing. Local train passes rates has been increased to 100%

I am expecting some big protest here I'm coming days.

Luckily I renewed my pass few days back. So, got some relief for next 3 months.
