West Central Railway Introduces mAadhaar-Based Passenger ID Verification To Curb Unauthorised Travel

West Central Railway, Bhopal, has introduced a new method for verifying the identity of passengers using the mAadhaar mobile application, as per the latest guidelines issued by the Railway Board, a release said on Saturday.

The move aims to curb unauthorised travel and prevent misuse of fake Aadhaar cards or tickets booked under someone else's name.

To strengthen the process of identity verification with the help of technology, the mAadhaar app, developed by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), will serve as an effective tool for real-time identity authentication, the release added.

The app will soon be made available on Handheld Terminals (HHT devices) as well so that the misuse of reserved tickets and identity cards can be prevented and the real identity of passengers can be ensured.
