The Railway Board has asked Zonal Railways to train and sensitize the ticket checking staff for the early implementation of contactless ticket checking and scanning system.
The Moradabad division of Northern Railways has already modified its ticket reservation system to issue a unique QR code to every ticket.
In a similar move, the North Western Railway had come up with the introduction of QR codes for 12 stations last year.
