SEPARATE COUNTER for women at Public Reservation System (PRS) at Charbagh railway station would cease to exist. As per the new system introduced on Monday, the facility goes. “There’s no need for it as people will have to take turn as per the coupons,” said the ADRM (II) R Singh.
As per the new system, there would be at the most two persons waiting at the counter, so where’s the need for separate queue for women, said the ADRM (II).
A separate queue, however, has been dedicated to the senior citizens, MPs, handicapped, etc.
People falling in this category will not have to take tokens and could get tickets booked directly from the assigned counter. Briefing about the new system, Divisional Railway Manager (NR) R K Gupta claimed the system would rid people of the cumbersome procedure required to wait in queue. It’s pertinent to note that in one of the studies conducted by the railways, it was found that a person had to wait for 45 minutes in queue for his turn to get the tickets booked. But the new system promises to make the procedure free of hassle.
A person would just need to get a token number from the specified counter and relax in a seat till the number was displayed on the electronic board. “All he has to do is to keep an eye on the electronic board that would display numbers in red and green,” said the DRM, adding that the token number would flash on the board in green, while the counter number from where one can get the ticket booked in red. Though the high-tech system has been introduced, there are many changes that need to be carried out. For example, the counter numbers are printed in three digits, whereas the display would be in two digits. About increasing the number of chairs, the DRM said it would come through after due arrangements.
