Indian Railways on Friday refuted reports over discontinuation of the 'Garib Rath' Express trains saying there is no such proposal.

In a statement the Railway Ministry said, "It is clarified that there is no proposal to discontinue Garib Rath services on Indian Railways."

The ministry said that there are 26 pairs of Garib Rath services in operation.

"These are very popular services as they facilitate air-conditioned travel at fares which are lower than the normal AC-3 tier fares," it said.
