Govt refuses to pay excess Kisan Rail subsidy, Rlys 'writes off' Rs 71 cr

The Railways had to write off Rs 71.86 crore it spent as excess subsidy on Kisan Rail Services last fiscal, after the Ministry of Food Processing Industries refused to bear the additional cost citing a Rs 50-crore ceiling for the initiative, documents show.
