The Union Government is set to announce concessions for students and senior citizens in the token fares for travelling on the Delhi Metro network by deploying a technology-backed system to facilitate it, reports Economic Times.
This announcement was made by Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs, Hardeep Singh Puri. He asserted that the centre backs need-based targeted concessions and stands against the misuse of the services and facility.
It should be noted that the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is a 50:50 joint venture (JV) between the Government of Nation Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) and the Government of India.
