the board hike in fares ranging from Rs 2 for short distances to Rs 8 for longer hauls.

Fares have been revised to cope with increase in costs and help DMRC meet its huge interest and loan repayment burden, which will be in the range of Rs 500-600 crore per year after the opening of phase-II sections, DMRC director (finance) R N Joshi said on Wednesday.

The fare hike is expected to result in a gross return of Rs 1,026 crore for DMRC for the year 2010-11.

In comparison to the fares of other metros, except for Kolkata, the charges of Delhi metro are the lowest in the world, Mr Joshi added.

Now, a metro ride from Vishwavidyalaya to Rajiv Chowk will cost Rs 15 instead of Rs 11. The fare charged for travelling from Tilak Nagar to Rajiv Chowk has now been revised from Rs 13 to Rs 18. The minimum fare has been raised from Rs 6 to Rs 8, while the maximum fare has been hiked to Rs 30 instead of Rs 22.

Special Status For Jammu & Kashmir Scraped: 5 Points About Article 370

Jammu & Kashmir will also be "reorganized," Home Minister Amit Shah said as talks about the state being trifurcated into three separate fields- Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh NEW DELHI: Article 370, which gives Jammu & Kashmir unique status, will be withdrawn this morning in parliament, Home Minister Amit Shah said . The announcement came after his cabinet meeting at his house this morning was held by Prime Minister Narendra Modi .

Parliament can not also improve or decrease the boundaries of the State under Article 370 As a consequence, citizens of Jammu & Kashmir

Enai Nokki Paayum Thotta Movie Review: Tiring and Unsatisfying

Movie Rating: 3/5 First of all things! The director's weakest film is the long delayed Enai Noki Paayum Thotta by Gautham Menon . The film's main weakness is the director's fascination with narrative style voice-over.

Raghu takes her to his Pollachi house and introduc
