    mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#424242">Digital Desk: The
    Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has altered its online
    ticketing method, which is significant for individuals who book train tickets
    online through the IRCTC website or app. Before ordering tickets, users will be
    required to have their phone numbers and email addresses confirmed. Bookings
    will not be accepted without verification.
