00:00I'm GFA Jafar Ali, I'm member of the Zonal Railway Users Consultative Committee for Southern Railway.
00:07Sir, Government of India, Ministry of Railways has announced very good things for its passengers.
00:14The important thing that has been implemented from today,
00:21Aadhaar linked should be merged with the Tathkaal scheme.
00:28The Aadhaar should be linked with the Tathkaal from today, that is 1st July.
00:37And it is very important, the thing is, from 15th of July, if you book the tickets through Tathkaal,
00:50the OTP will come to your mobile, which is connected with the Aadhaar.
00:56So from that you can book your ticket easily.
00:58It was an issue previously that agencies that used to book the tickets and you cannot get some sort of confirmations.
01:09So based on these allegations, Ministry of Railways has introduced a very good scheme for its passengers that Aadhaar should be linked with the Tathkaal scheme.
01:20So that while booking through Tathkaal, you will get an OTP.
01:24From that OTP, you will get a confirmation ticket.
01:28And moreover, the second thing is, when you get the confirmation, you get the confirmation only by 4 hours of your time of journey.
01:39Now, Southern Government of India, Ministry of Railways, the Railway Board has recommended to the Ministry of Railways that 4 hours is increased by 8 hours.
01:53By your, you are going to some, your destination by 2 p.m. in the noon.
02:00So before one day, by 9 p.m. in the night, you get the confirmation.
02:06So it's a very basic news and you can plan your journey 8 hours before.
02:14Whether it is confirmed, is it not confirmed, you can plan journey 8 hours before.
02:20I think this is a historic announcement by the Indian Railways.
02:24As a member of ZRUCC, I want to thank Ashni Vaishoji, Minister for Railways and the Railway Board.
02:35And, sir, the important thing, one more important thing to the passengers is,
02:41Government of India, Ministry of Railways, has upgraded the passengers reservation system.
02:47What is the passenger reservation system?
02:50So per minute, per minute, 32,000 tickets used to be booked all over the country.
02:59Now they are upgrading the system in per minute.
03:03In future, I think within some months, it is going to be implemented.
03:07So per minute, 1.5 lakhs tickets will be booked.
03:12So website and all things to the railway, they are, in 5G, 6G speed, we can say, they are generating it.
03:23So per minute, 1.5 tickets throughout the country can be booked.
03:28I think that is quite a historic thing.
03:30And as far as the rate is concerned, the cost of insulin, we didn't think so, this much increased.
03:43In 2014, it was increased, 2020, and now it has been increased.
03:47And the thing is, AC, AC coaches, 1 km, railway ministry have increased, only 2 paisa.
03:571 km, 2 paisa for AC coaches.
04:00And non-AC, mails and express, 1 km, 1 paisa.
04:05I don't think so, that will more affect the low class passengers, who travel in non-AC or any.
04:17And second class, as far as second class is concerned, 500 km, there is no extra cost.
04:24Only 501, half paisa per kilometer.
04:30Only half paisa per kilometer.
04:34And as far as suburban trains are concerned, rates have not been increased.
04:40So this is the historic thing by the Indian railway.
04:43It is quite welcomeable.
04:45As far as, I am the member of Zonal Railways, which was consulted to committee.
04:50I welcome it.
04:51And I thank Government of India, Ministry of Railways, Minister for Railways, Ashneemeshnoji, for this initiative, sir.
