Recently, due to the huge crowd of passengers at New Delhi Railway Station, a stampede-like situation had arisen. Many people lost their lives in this accident caused by chaos at the station. After this tragic accident, the railway administration is planning to bring new rules to make the general ticket system more streamlined.
Names of trains can also be entered in general ticket
Let us tell you that at present, passengers with general tickets can easily change trains. However, under the changes to be made in the coming time, names of trains can also be entered in general tickets. This means that once the name of the train is recorded on the ticket, the passenger will not be able to change the train.
Validity of General Ticket
Do you know that the general ticket issued by the railways comes with validity. According to the rules of the railways, the validity of the general ticket is only three hours. That is, if you do not start your journey within three hours after taking the general ticket, then that ticket becomes invalid i.e. non-valid. Which means that after three hours, travel cannot be done on that ticket.
The purpose of the railways behind introducing these changes in the rules of general tickets is to make the safety of the passengers and the journey more comfortable. However, the official announcement of the new rules can be made soon by the Ministry of Railways.
