Railway News: Indian Railways has started a new system at 52 stations of North Eastern Railway. Under this, private employees will now book general tickets. In such a situation, Indian Railways will now sell general tickets through outsourced means through private employees. Railway administration has started the process of having station ticket booking agents at all NSG-5 and NSG-6 category (Non-Suburban Group) stations.
Station ticket booking agents will be posted at the junction
Let us inform that after the operation of private trains in Indian Railways, the Central Government is now handing over the work of sale of local tickets to private employees. At the same time, by surrendering the vacant posts, now the railways will get many works done through outsources. This also includes general ticket sales. In such a situation, now station ticket booking agents will be posted at the junction for booking general tickets. Meaning the ticket counters of the junction will also now be in private hands. Like the halts and smaller stations, at the junctions too, private employees will sell railway general tickets on commission basis.
CPRO Panjak Kumar Singh told that under the new arrangement, the Varanasi Divisional Administration has almost completed the process of placing 41 STBAs at 31 stations and junctions of NSG-5 and 6 category. Similarly, Lucknow divisional administration has floated tenders for posting STBAs at 52 stations including Gorakhpur, Cantt, Sahjanwan, PPganj, Maghar, Brijmanganj, Shohratgarh and Laxmipur.
