Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav on Friday will present his sixth rail budget and told media persons at his residence this morning that he would announce further sops for train passengers.
Yadav, however, refused to reveal details, but thanked his United Progressive Alliance (UPA) colleagues, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi for extending full cooperation in carrying out his policies for public welfare.
The BSE Sensex rose more than 1.5 percent early on Friday, with investors upbeat on higher Asian markets and ahead of an interim railway budget that could cut some freight rates.
