BBSR to launch smart citizen cards
A smart card to help citizens of Bhubaneswar to book bus and train tickets as well as shop at retail outlets is going to be launched soon. This has been decided in a meeting of the Empowered Committee on Infrastructure (ECI) chaired by Chief Secretary Aditya Prasad Padhi. Under this 325 POS machines will be installed across Bhubaneswar for the smart card. ICICI Bank has been selected as the vendor to execute the introduction of the smart cards. This will serve as a smart solution to assist citizens of the capital city in their day-to-day monetary transactions.
