IRCTC train ticket bookings: Passengers to give complete destination address
IRCTC has started taking the destination address of all passengers who are booking tickets with effect from May 13 (Wednesday). Railways has said that this new addition of passengers information while booking tickets is being done in order to help it for contact tracing. The ‘Destination Address’ column will be a new provision in the form that passengers fill while booking ticket.
The move has come after one of the migrants who travelled in Railways Shramik special trains tested positive for coronavirus, risking health of several others who had also travelled in the same train.
By taking passnegers destination address, it will help railways for contact tracing if any passengers who are travelling in 15 special trains whose services resumed on May 12 fall sick due to coronavirus in order to inform others who were part of the same journey.
