This  benefits  the  common  man  as  foul smell, unhygienic surrounding as well as shabby look are avoided. All the  human  excreta  is  collected  in  an  eco-friendly  bio-tank  fitted under  each  toilet.  The  bio-tank  decomposes  the  fecal  matter  and converts it into water and gases.

- (a) The  India-based  Neutrino  Observatory  (INO)  project  is  an  ambitious  basic sciences research project aimed at studying the properties and interactions of the elusive elementary particles called neutrinos . It aims to build an underground  laboratory  at  Bodi  West  Hills  (BWH)  in  Theni  District,  Tamil Nadu, setting up the 51,000 ton Iron Calorimeter (ICAL) detector there, and establishing the Inter-Institutional Centre for High Energy Physics (IICHEP) at Madurai.
- (b)        In  addition  to  studying  of  neutrinos,  the  other  experiments  planned  are  as under:-

- (1) Search for 0-neutrino-2-beta decay in the heaviest naturally occurring isotope  of  tin  viz. 124 Sn  using  a  bolometer  operating  at  milli-Kelvin temperature and
- (2) Search for Dark Matter using a scintillator such as CsI(Tl) operating at cryogenic temperature.
3. (c)      All these experiments require a low radiation background. There will only be naturally occurring radiation background which, though low, will be minimised further by shielding the cryogenic detectors.
4. (d)&(e)Yes,  the  site  at  Pottipuram  in  Theni  Dist.,  Tamil  Nadu  is  a  good  site    for locating  INO  from  the  point  of  view  of  seismicity,  minimum  environmental impact  and  geographical  location.    A  public  meeting  was  held,  following  a strong outreach programme, in 2010 where there was overwhelming support for  the  project.  Presently  large  outreach  programme  has  been  undertaken involving;
- (1) Interactions  in  schools  and  colleges  in  Madurai, Theni  and  a  few other districts;
- (2)   Meetings with the press and TV channels; and

2344. DR. KIRIT P. SOLANKI:

Will the Minister of RAILWAYS be pleased to state:

- (a)  whether the Government has introduced a surge pricing system for the  Rajdhani,  Duronto  and  Shatabdi  trains  and  if  so,  the  details thereof;
- (b)  the  rationale  behind  this  flexi  fare  system  and  whether  this  new fare structure has been applied to all coaches;
- (c)  if  so,  the  method  of  calculation  behind  such  surged  fares  and whether a ceiling exists for hike in fares, if so, the details thereof;
- (d)  whether  this  move  would  induce  a  shift  from  railways  to  airlines and  whether  any  concessions  will  be  given  to  people  coming  from economically weaker backgrounds; and
- (e) if so, the details thereof and if not, the reasons behind doing so and the  alternative  measures  taken  to  safeguard  the    interests  of  the above category of people?

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS

## ANSWER ( SHRI RAJEN GOHAIN)

- (a)  to  (c):  No  such  pricing  system  has  been  introduced  over  Indian Railways by the name of Surge Pricing. However, Flexi fare system has been introduced in Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto trains with effect from 09.09.2016.  Under this system, the base fare increases by 10% with every 10% of berths sold subject to maximum ceiling limit of 1.5

times  in  classes  Second  AC,  Sleeper,  Second  Sitting  (Reserved),  AC Chair Car and 1.4 times in 3 rd  AC class.  No change has been made in the fares for Ist AC and Executive class of travel.

Operating  cost  for  running  of  trains  over  Indian  Railways  is increasing year after year. Therefore, in order to lessen the recurring loss in the passenger business,  Flexi fare system has been introduced in Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto trains which are premium services offering  better  facilities  in  terms  of  limited  stoppages,  punctuality, enhanced safety features, cleanliness, improved food quality, etc.

(d)  &  (e):    Railways  and  Airlines  are  different  modes  of  transport system.  It is the choice of the passengers to opt either Railways or Airlines for travelling. Alternative train services on normal  fare structure are already available over Indian Railways on the routes of most of the Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto trains at affordable fares for  the  people  of  economically  weaker  sections.  Apart  from  this, concession to senior citizens, four categories of Divyangjans etc., as per  rule  is  also  admissible  in  Rajdhani,  Shatabdi  and  Duronto  trains. Moreover, this concession is admissible to more than 50 categories of passengers including Senior citizens and four categories of Divyangjans  in  the  fares  of  Mail/Express  services  having  affordable fare structure.
