Know how to work M Aadhaar app
According to the information given by the Railways, this app has the facility of identity verification by scanning QR code. Through this app, TTE will be able to scan the passenger’s Aadhaar card and check his reality immediately. This will make the identity of fake Aadhaar card easier and will also control the black marketing of tickets. The Railway Board has said that the app will soon be connected to the HHT (Hand Held Terminal) device, which will provide this facility directly to TTE in their equipment. This will prevent misuse of reserved tickets and ensure the real identity of passengers during the journey.
Attempt to stop passenger safety and unauthorized journey in trains
According to railway officials, this step is a major improvement towards preventing passenger safety, transparency and unauthorized journey in trains. Also, this effort in the direction of Digital India can prove to be a milestone.
