The visit aimed to ensure that all necessary arrangements, including security, accommodation, sanitation, traffic regulation and healthcare are in place for the convenience of the pilgrims. The Deputy Commissioner was accompanied by Additional Deputy Commissioner Varunjeet Singh Charak; ACR Skokat Hayat Mattoo; ACD Shrinath Suman; Assistant Commissioner Panchayat ACP Ashfaq Ahmed and other government functionaries.
During the on-site review and subsequent meeting, the Deputy Commissioner emphasized the need for meticulous inter-departmental coordination and timely execution of all arrangements. He directed the nodal officers to ensure readiness of facilities at yatri niwas, langer sites at Chanderkote and other designated lodgment centres. These centres are critical for managing the large influx of pilgrims during the Yatra, he added.
Executive Engineers JPDCL, Jal Shakti, and PWD were instructed to ensure uninterrupted power supply, adequate water availability, and other basic amenities at all Yatra-related sites. The departments were given a deadline of June 20 to complete all infrastructural and logistic preparations. The Deputy Commissioner issued clear directions for effective traffic regulation on the National Highway-44, especially between Nashri and Banihal, to prevent congestion and facilitate smooth movement of Yatra convoy.
