RFID Card Registration

माता वैष्णो देवी RFID कार्ड रजिस्ट्रेशन

श्री माता वैष्णो देवी यात्रा के दौरान श्रद्धालुओं की सुरक्षा, सुचारु यात्रा प्रबंधन तथा भीड़ नियंत्रण के लिए RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) कार्ड जारी किया जाता है। प्रत्येक श्रद्धालु को यात्रा प्रारम्भ करने से पहले RFID कार्ड प्राप्त करना आवश्यक है।

RFID कार्ड के माध्यम से श्रद्धालुओं की यात्रा की निगरानी, सुरक्षा तथा विभिन्न यात्रा मार्गों पर उनकी आवाजाही का रिकॉर्ड रखा जाता है। यह व्यवस्था यात्रा को अधिक सुरक्षित और व्यवस्थित बनाती है।

Important

RFID कार्ड के बिना यात्रा प्रारम्भ करने की अनुमति नहीं दी जाती। इसलिए यात्रा शुरू करने से पहले अपना RFID रजिस्ट्रेशन अवश्य पूरा करें।
