“During the first five months of April-August of the current financial year, we have earned ₹ 883.26 crore from originating passenger traffic, which is ₹ 39.32 crore more than the corresponding period of last year, thus, registering a growth of 4.66 per cent,” a SE Railway statement said.
“This growth in passenger earnings has been possible due to increase in number of passengers,” it said.
