Indian Railways train ticket booking: Indian Railways (IR) is set to launch a dedicated online train ticket booking portal exclusively for Members of Parliament (MPs). The move aims to streamline travel arrangements and enable seamless ticket booking for both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha members.
In a written reply to the Lok Sabha on Wednesday (July 23), Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw confirmed the development. He informed the House that the Railways is in the process of developing a software to facilitate the booking of reserved train tickets for Parliamentarians.
“The development of software for booking reserved tickets online by sitting as well as former Parliamentarians has been taken up. This will facilitate them to book/cancel the ticket online as per their convenience,” Vaishnaw said.
The minister was responding to a query from Congress MP MK Raghavan, who sought to know whether the government planned to introduce an exclusive online ticket booking platform for MPs for seamless travel arrangements.
