NCRTC Launches Campaign to Encourage Voting for Parliamentary Elections with Complimentary Premium Coach Upgrade for Namo Bharat Commuters
Ghaziabad: In a bid to encourage passengers to exercise their democratic right to vote in the Parliamentary elections, NCRTC has launched a campaign for the polls scheduled to be held on 26th April 2024. This is in line with the various initiatives by the Election Commission of India (ECI) to engage and empower citizens to actively participate in the elections.
In this campaign, passengers who cast their votes will be eligible for a complimentary upgrade to the Premium Coach from the standard coach. They only have to purchase their standard coach ticket from the ‘RRTS Connect app’ and show their ‘inked finger’ to the station staff near the AFC gates of Premium Lounge at the platform level to avail this offer.
Namo Bharat train consists of six coaches where one coach is a premium coach while the other five coaches are standard coaches. Passengers booking their standard coach tickets from the ‘RRTS Connect App’ will only be eligible for this upgrade.
Aligned with the ECI’s ‘Chunav Ka Parv, Desh Ka Garv’ campaign for enhanced voter participation in General Elections 2024, this initiative seeks to cultivate a sense of community and civic responsibility among passengers by highlighting the significance of engaging in the electoral process. NCRTC is offering passengers the chance to enjoy the enhanced comfort and convenience of the Premium Coach on the Namo Bharat train.
