Good to hear but not possible to implementBy: Rohit | Friday , 3 Jul '09 12:51:09 PM Reply | Forward The idea seems good to hear but very difficult to implement. currently one of the member of the family goes to registration counter for registration slip but with starting of fingre-printing each and every one will have to go to the counter. Just calculate the time for taking the fingre print of one person and then calculate how many person can be registered in one hour, that will not be more then 100-150 persons per hour, then how will the shrine board take care of approx 10000 persons visiting the great holy place practicaly every day. It is not possible.

I request our government to have such kind of biometric security installation spread across my motherland India. These terrorists will have to think a 100 times before they think of anything.Jai Ho. Bharat Mata ki Jai.
