The entire exercise was mainly carried out during the limited night time after the end of passenger traffic, so that when traffic continued the next day, all gates were kept available to passengers again. DMRC has already upgraded more than 60 per cent of its AFC gates with QR code scanners and the rest are also slated to be covered in the next one to two months, they said.
