Railways journey becomes more dearer
M Sarwar Awan

Islamabad—The Pakistan Railways has increased fares from 10 per cent to 15 per cent, said a notification issued on Wednesday.
According to a private TV channel passengers will be charged 10 percent more while freight charges have been increased by 15 per cent.
The Railway will be implementing new fares and increase in freight charges from tomorrow (Friday).
The unprecedented rise in oil prices in the world market has forced the Pakistan Railways management to affect an increase in their charges, a PR source told the private TV channel.
