During an interaction with students, issues were highlighted regarding the current portal’s CAPTCHA system and overall booking experience. Promptly responding to these complaints, Minister Vaishnaw directed officials to develop a revamped platform within 30 days.
The upcoming IRCTC website aims to provide a smoother booking process, enhanced performance, and a more user-friendly interface to benefit millions of railway passengers across India.
In addition to addressing digital ticketing concerns, Minister Vaishnaw shared updates on railway investments in Rajasthan during his visit to Jaipur. He revealed that the state’s railway budget has increased substantially from around Rs 600 crore before 2014 to Rs 10,228 crore at present.
Work is currently underway at more than 200 railway stations in Rajasthan, focusing on improvements such as platform height adjustments, platform extensions, and new passenger shelters.

The Jaipur Railway Station is a major project in this scheme, undergoing significant modernization with upgraded passenger facilities and infrastructure.
