SRINAGAR, JULY 15: In reference to the news item regarding yatris sleeping in the open, it is once again clarified that district administration Jammu has provided for lodgement centres across the district. There are 24 centres with a capacity of 9500 approximately. Information about these facilities is provided to yatris at the railway station and also at the token and registration centres. Most of the yatris have availed these facilities and all have had a comfortable experience.
The news item in particular has shown yatris outside Mhajan Hall.It is pertinent to mention that Mahajan Hall is one of the registration centres. Yatris sometimes reach the registration centre in early hours of the day to queue up for tokens and registration so that they can be ahead in the queue.
