Police to introduce e-ticketing at bus stands in Rawalpindi

Rawalpindi police have announced plans to implement e-ticketing at bus stands as part of a digital monitoring system. This initiative aims to maintain a record of passengers using the Travel Eye app, as well as gather data on travelers staying at hotels, guest houses, and inns via the Hotel Eye app. The system is set to be utilized during the upcoming ICC Test championship series from November 9 to 13.

The Travel Eye and Hotel Eye apps will assist law enforcement in tracking visitors, including those with criminal backgrounds, who are entering the city via buses and wagons, as well as those staying in various accommodations. This decision was made during a meeting chaired by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Operations Malik Tariq Mahboob.

The meeting included representatives from the Regional Transport Authority, Counter-Terrorism Department, Special Branch, City Traffic Police, and other departments. The first Test match in this series will be a Pakistan vs. Sri Lanka game. In addition to the e-ticketing, the police plan to introduce special surveillance at bus and wagon stands, with a dedicated police post established within the bus stands to ensure comprehensive security measures.
