Jammu, Feb 24 (KNS) ; In a significant push towards realising the vision of a Digital India, the Jammu Division of Indian Railways has ramped up its digital infrastructure, ensuring high-speed internet connectivity and seamless cashless transactions for passengers.
Officials stated on Tuesday that the division is prioritising passenger convenience by fully activating the 'Rail Wire' high-speed Wi-Fi service 24/7 at all major railway stations. This robust connectivity is not only aiding passengers from other states in staying connected but is also acting as a backbone for the division's cashless economy drive.
As part of a comprehensive digital strategy, the division is actively promoting multiple modes of digital payments. Commuters are being encouraged to use UPI, QR codes, and debit/credit cards at Passenger Reservation System (PRS) and Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) counters, parcel offices, and food stalls to facilitate smooth and contactless transactions.

Furthermore, in an effort to decongest queues and modernise the travel experience, the Railways is urging passengers, local residents, and even educational institutions to adopt the 'Rail One' app. The super-app aims to bring various passenger services onto a single digital platform.
Speaking about the initiatives, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, Uchit Singhal, said, "The Jammu Division is fully committed to providing a modern, secure, and technology-friendly travel experience. Accelerating the 'Digital India' campaign, we are seamlessly deploying RailWire high-speed Wi-Fi at all major stations. Our goal is to empower passengers through their smartphones, enabling easy access to information and digital payments, thereby reducing long queues at ticket counters." (KNS)
