In order to reduce human contact in view of COVID-19 pandemic, ticket examiners in Moradabad under Moradabad division of Northern Railway zone started checking tickets by scanning QR codes printed on tickets.
This initiative was launched on July 22.
Moradabad Divisional Railway Manager Tarun Prakash said, "We have made modification in our ticket reservation system, enabling it to issue a unique QR code to every ticket which can be scanned by the examiners through hand-held terminals or other devices that can scan QR codes."
