3. Offline tickets to get checked via Mobile at the Bhopal Station
Now, offline tickets booked from the Railway Reservation Office can also be checked via mobile without any physical contact. For this, a code will be sent to the passenger’s mobile while booking the ticket. TTE can scan and check it with their mobile or scanning machine.
