vans, up-linked to satellite, will be issuing railway tickets in reserved and unreserved categories primarily in rural and remote corners of the country.
“We are examining a proposal for launching mobile van service for issuing tickets at certain places,” a senior official in the Railway Ministry said.
Railways had already announced its plan to book tickets through mobile phones. A pilot project for this will be launched in Mumbai shortly.
