Warangal: Rajya Sabha member Vaddiraju Ravichandra called on the Centre on Thursday to restore the railway fare concession for journalists that was suspended during the Covid-19 pandemic. Ravichandra highlighted that many journalists, often from lower and middle-income backgrounds, rely heavily on train travel to carry out their duties, and the loss of the 50 per cent discount has imposed a big financial burden on them.
