Punjabi language finds a place on railway tickets!
Railway tickets now in Punjabi language too at the Amritsar station Punjabi language finds a place on railway tickets! Besides the usual English and Hindi, Punjabi finds a place on railway tickets at the Amritsar station. The move comes as various states in India started printing the tickets in their local languages this year. The first was Karnataka, where rail authorities introduced tickets that carried information in their local language Kannada. “The facility will eventually be introduced at all main stations of Punjab,” said Sarabjit Singh, chief booking superviser. The software was installed on June 11 in two ticket-vending machines, one at the main gate side and the other on the Gol Bagh side. “Gradually, this kind of ticket will also be issued from the counters.” “Importance is being given to the regional languages across the country for the convenience of passengers,” said Deepak KP, commercial movement inspector (CMI). “Apart from tickets, information boards and notice boards in Punjabi will also be seen at the station.” -PTC News
