Learning from the debacle during festivals, Indian Railways has decided to launch a super app. This super app will be launched by the end of December 2024. Through this, information about ticket booking, train information on the platform, food distribution, and train running status can be obtained. The super app of Indian Railways will be different from the already existing all-in-one IRCTC app.
In this super app of Indian Railways, passengers will get all the information related to railways. Through this super app, passengers will be able to book tickets, buy platform passes, and monitor timetables. It is being developed by the Railway Information System Center. This application will work in conjunction with the existing systems of IRCTC. Its services include ticket booking, food delivery, feedback, train tracking, etc.
What will happen to IRCTC now?
At present, passengers use the IRCTC app to book tickets online. Through this app, airline tickets can also be purchased and food can also be ordered on the train. Apart from this, there are many other facilities in this app. After the new app of Indian Railways comes, IRCTC will continue as the interface of CRIS with the passengers. Its facilities will continue to work as before.
There was trouble due to the lack of trains.
Indian Railways is trying to reduce the problems of people by bringing a new app, but the real problem is caused by the lack of trains. A large number of people travel from one state to another for work and return home during festivals. During this time there is a shortage of trains. Even a large number of special trains are not enough for the passengers. It is clear from this that the Railways need to run trains by laying additional lines and the state governments need to employ so that the migration of workers is reduced.
