NSUI Protests for Student Metro Fare Concessions in Delhi
Imagine you're a student, and the cost of riding the subway is a lot.
Some students are asking the government for a discount on their subway fares, like half the price!
Ronak Khatri, who leads the student group, went to the home of Delhi's new Chief Minister to ask for this.
They've been wanting this discount for a while, and the student group is hoping the new leader will help them out since she used to be a student leader too.
They believe that with the new government, the promise of cheaper subway rides for students will finally come true.
The students are hoping for a 50% discount on metro fares.
NSUI protested outside the likely official residence of Delhi CM Rekha Gupta.
The protest demanded a 50% concession on Delhi Metro fares for students.
Ronak Khatri, DUSU President, led the protest.
The demand for concession passes has persisted for over a decade.
A formal letter of demand was submitted at the CM’s residence.
