JAMMU, June 30: To provide all necessary assistance to Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra pilgrims, the CRPF has established a help desk viz. ‘MADADGAAR’ at platform No. 1 of Jammu Tawi Railway station. A similar help desk has been established at Jammu Airport.
The objective of these help desks is to provide all kind of guidance/help to the pilgrims reaching Railway station and Airport from various parts of the country. All kind of information pertaining to the yatra, ranging from stay arrangements, medical aides, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, etc. will be provided to the pilgrims.
Pertinent to mention here that, as a special security measure, RFID tags are being fixed on yatri vehicles. The objective of RFID tags is to ensure security of yatra vehicles.
For this, CRPF has established RFID tagging centres at various places in Jammu region i.e. Lakhanpur, Civil Airport Jammu, Jammu Tawi Railway Station, Jammu Bus Stand, Yatri Base Camp Bhagwati Nagar Jammu, Ban Toll Plaza, Roun village Udhampur and Nashri Tunnel.
While appealing the yatris and issuing necessary guidance related to security, CRPF is expecting co-operation from yatris. Pamphlets containing these guidelines are also being distributed by CRPF among yatris.
