IRCTC examining the Proposal to make Aadhaar mandatory for Users’ Registration

New Delhi: The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is planning to make Aadhaar card mandatory for its user registration process for e-ticketing. This will ensure that users registering on the IRCTC web site are properly identified of their identity and address through the Aadhaar card number verification.

In a related move, IRCTC has decided to ramp up its e-ticketing operations by hiring the services of Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) for conducting the Security Audit of its Next Generation E-Ticketing System. As part of this, STQC will conduct the web application security and vulnerability assessment of servers and devices that are part of its e-ticketing operations on the hosted servers of www.irctc.co.in. The STQC Directorate is an attached office of the Department of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India.

Pipavav Port shut as Railway track washed away

Pipavav: Cargo handling at Pipavav port in Gujarat’s Amreli district has come to a standstill after large portion of the main railway line connecting the port to northern India was washed away in the Wednesday’s flash floods.

All the operations at the port run by the Danish APM Terminals have been halted and railway officials said that it will take at least three weeks for the railway track to be repaired.

Thousands of containers, majority of them, bound for northern states, have piled up at the port.

A four-km long portion of the broad-gauge line between Dhola and Pipavav was washed away in the flood. The port is connected to northern India by a 269-km Surendranagar-Pipavav broad-gauge line, which also runs double-stack container trains. A major portion of it passes through Amreli which was devastated by the floods.
