Ferozepur Rail Division is enhancing passenger convenience at its key stations by introducing several modern amenities. These include the installation of digital lockers for secure luggage storage, the opening of Jan Aushadhi centers for low-cost medicines, and the implementation of app-based taxi parking. These initiatives are designed to provide a more organized and stress-free environment for travelers across the division.
How will the digital locker facility work at stations?
The digital locker system, which was introduced at Ludhiana Railway Station, offers a secure way for passengers to store their belongings. To use this service, travelers need to register their mobile number on the locker panel to receive an OTP. After selecting a locker and scanning a QR code, the payment can be made online. This facility is particularly useful for those waiting for connecting trains or planning short visits outside the station.
What are the benefits of Jan Aushadhi and RailOne app?
- Jan Aushadhi Centers: These stalls provide high-quality generic medicines at affordable prices. Stations like Ferozepur Cantt and Mamdot are already part of this health initiative.
- RailOne App: Launched by Rail Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, this super app integrates ticket booking with taxi services via Bharat Taxi.
- Taxi Parking: The app-based system aims to reduce congestion outside station premises and provide fixed-rate travel to the passenger final destination.
- Safety Features: New policies ensure GPS tracking and panic buttons in app-based cabs for improved passenger security.
