Maligaon, October 7 (MExN): Indian Railways has decided to restore earlier system of preparation of second reservation charts with effect from October 10, an NFR official informed on Wednesday.
According to the Northeast Frontier Railway’s Chief Public Relations Officer, Subhanan Chanda, due to COVID-19 pandemic, instructions were issued to shift the time of preparation of second reservation chart to 2 hours before scheduled/ rescheduled time of departure of trains, as opposed to the previous 30 minutes to 5 minutes time frame.
However, for ensuring convenience of rail passengers, the matter has been examined and it has been decided that the second reservation chart shall be prepared at least 30 minutes before scheduled/rescheduled time of departure of train, Chanda said in a press release.
Accordingly, ticket booking facility, both online and on PRS ticket counters, shall be available, before preparation of second chart.
Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) has done necessary modifications in the software accordingly so as to restore this provision, Chanda informed.
