Uttarakhand: DGP’s instructions, get the capacity assessment done scientifically in all the four Dhams
DGP Abhinav Kumar has given instructions to assess the capacity of the four Dhams through scientific methods. For this, coordination will be established with other departments also. So that, passengers can be sent there only on the basis of capacity. Apart from this, DGP has also given instructions to do micro level planning for crowd control in Dhams. So that, law and order and traffic system remains uninterrupted there.
The DGP held a meeting with all the district police in-charges on Tuesday through video conferencing. He said that big vehicles are causing jam on the Chardham Yatra route. In such a situation, such arrangements should be made in collaboration with the transport department so that the passengers can be deboarded from the big vehicle and sent to the Dhams through alternative means.
This will provide relief from traffic jams on the travel route. Action should be taken according to the scheme made for the security of the four Dhams. The DGP also gave instructions to immediately identify the misleading information being spread regarding the Yatra. Said, strict action should be taken against such people.
He also asked to ensure arrangements to stop passengers at designated places when traffic pressure increases. Passengers should be stopped at such places where there is a town or market. Their food, drink and accommodation should be easily available.
Apart from this, instructions were also given to conduct weekly medical checkup of the policemen deployed in Chardham Yatra. Also, in view of the tourist season, a timely traffic plan for Nainital, Kainchi Dham, Jageshwar Dham etc. of Kumaon range should be made and publicized as much as possible. So that people do not face any problems in the future.
