Maha Kumbh 2025: Indian railway introduces QR-enabled jackets for easy ticket booking
PTC News Desk: In the wake of Maha Kumch 2025, the Indian railway has announced a groundbreaking initiative to revolutionise ticketing for the grand event.
As per a press release, for the first time, the Prayagraj Railway Division will introduce digital railway tickets through QR codes printed on the jackets of railway employees. This initiative aims to spare devotees the inconvenience of standing in long queues for tickets while streamlining the ticketing process for railway authorities.
In a pioneering move, railway tickets will now be generated by scanning QR codes imprinted on the jackets worn by railway personnel. This initiative, introduced by the North Central Railway, is designed to simplify the ticketing process for the millions of devotees expected to visit Prayagraj during Mahakumbh 2025.
Amit Malviya, senior PRO of the Prayagraj Railway Division, stated that the employees of the commercial department would be deployed on special duty at Prayagraj Junction, wearing distinctive green jackets featuring QR codes on the back. Devotees can scan these codes using their mobile phones to directly download the UTS mobile app, enabling them to book unreserved tickets without waiting in queues.
Senior PRO Malviya further mentioned that railway personnel wearing the QR code jackets will be stationed at key locations within the railway premises to assist devotees in booking their tickets conveniently. Additionally, the QR codes will provide access to other essential services, enhancing the overall travel experience.
This forward-looking initiative by the North Central Railway represents a significant stride towards Digital India and the Digital Mahakumbh envisioned by the double-engine government, offering a unique and seamless experience to the devotees.
