It has been announced that as part of the ASI's automisation programme, Qutab Minar has released an e-ticketing system for entering the heritage site. The e-ticketing system will be put on operation as a trial at Qutab Minar for a month.
According to the Culture Ministry officials, the implementation is being undertaken to find out the suitability of the system for public and also to assess short-comings in the system.
Designed by the National Institute for Smart Government (NISG), the system is also proposed to take care of better accounting of revenue collection, store data on visitors and minimize the possibility of malpractices in the current manual system, the officials further remarked.
During the period of the trial run, e-ticket for individuals and also group of visitors may be purchased from the ticket counters at Qutab Minar. Therefore During this period, manual tickets will not be available at Qutab Minar.
It is also revealed that ASI also plans to introduce e-ticketing at all such monuments in phases after the technology to be used is firmed up and bottle-necks removed.
