and freight charges. The other pro-people proposals include cheaper tatkal tickets, 12 non-stop trains between big cities under the name Duronto, air conditioned double-decker intercity trains and low cost air-conditioned Yuva trains for rural youth and low income groups.Mamata also announced that rail tickets would also be sold through 5,000 post offices across the country, through automatic vending machines in 200 stations and also through 50 mobile ticketing vans.
The Minister also proposed the Izzat scheme with special passes for unorganised sector workers, new schemes for railway employees and relaxation in rules for student concessions.
CNN-IBN discussed Mamata's Railway Budget with senior Communist Party of India (CPI) leader Atul Anjan, former railway minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ram Naik and Trinamool Congress leader Derek O' Brien.
While some proposals are being applauded, others are being criticized as being unrealistic.
Mamata and former railway minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal MP Lalu Prasad also had a spat during the Budget speech. Mamata also criticised, in a veiled manner, her predecessor's tenure as she said that Railways had incurred a loss in the last financial year.
