This time the police department is fully prepared for the Char Dham Yatra. While policemen are being deployed at posts before the Yatra, more police force has been deployed compared to previous years. This time 30 posts of SDRF have been created. If information about an accident is received from anywhere on the Chardham Yatra route, the SDRF team will reach the spot maximum two hours before and start the rescue.
Rescue team reaches late in case of accident
According to SDRF Commandant Manikant Mishra, every year during the Char Dham Yatra, SDRF is deployed on the yatra routes. Many times, when an accident occurs in a remote area, the rescue team reaches late, due to which the injured do not get timely treatment. Taking cognizance of previous incidents, this time posts have been made at such places where accident prone areas fall. So that if information about the accident is received, the team can immediately reach for rescue. The team will have to reach the spot in maximum two hours.
5282 police officers and employees will handle travel arrangements
IG Garhwal Karan Singh Nagnyal said that this year the police department has deployed 5282 police officers and employees on duty in Char Dham Yatra. In this, duty of Civil Police, Armed Police, PAC, Traffic Police, SDRF, Home Guard, PRD and Water Police personnel has been deployed. Instructions have been issued to all policemen to reach their posts in Uttarkashi, Rudraprayag and Chamoli on May 5. Last year, policemen from many districts were not relieved on time, due to which they had to face problems. This time on May 5, there will be a briefing of all the policemen in all the three districts and after that they will go to their respective duties.
