 "Arvind Kejriwal demands roll back of 'surge pricing' in railways")
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday opposed the "surge pricing" in Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto express trains and demanded its roll back.
"AAP strongly opposes surge pricing in railways and demands that it should be rolled back," Kejriwal tweeted.

According to the new system, the base fares of these trains will increase by 10 per cent with every 10 per cent of berths sold subject to a prescribed ceiling limit.
