To control black marketing of tickets, Indian Railways have given instructions for periodic monitoring of the footage of CCTVs (Closed Circuit Televisions) installed at the PRS (Passenger Reservation System) centers. The commercial inspectors have been told to keep a watch on the unscrupulous elements and take necessary action to check black marketing of tickets so that genuine passengers do not face problems.
The above order has been given in view of the suggestion given by Central Vigilance Commission to the Indian Railways that efforts should be made for periodic monitoring of CCTVs installed at the PRS centers (especially during the peak hours). Further, these cameras should be used as a preventive vigilance tool.
