The Railway Minister, Mr Mukul Roy, will be meeting the five Railway Unions today.
The five federations of Railways have been demanding that Railways should not be a victim of the coalition politics.
The have stated that they be extended a matching grant from the Union Government in case of a roll back in proposed fare hike.
"We do not agree to any attempt to roll back the proposed fare hike as it will adversely impact not only the safety of rail travel but also the financial stability and sustainability of the Railways. A roll-back without matching subsidy from the general exchequer will push the Indian Railways to the brink of collapse," the five federations have stated in three letters to the Prime Minister during last one week.
