Jammu: DC takes stock of civic amenities for Machail Mata Yatra

Deputy Commissioner Rajesh Kumar Shavan has directed stakeholder departments to closely monitor the availability of civic amenities during the Machail Mata Yatra 2025

He asked Paddar SDM to closely monitor functioning of all essential facilities such as drinking water, washrooms, electricity, and other amenities here after taking feedback from a delegation comprising members of Shri Maa Chandi Sewak Sanstha and representatives from the Langar Association, who met him at his office chamber this afternoon.

The delegation underlined the need for repair and renovation of water facilities and washrooms, provision of separate washrooms for community kitchen and proper maintenance of washrooms at Marail Snan Ghat, among others.

The DC directed the Executive Engineer, PHE, to establish a 24×7 control room at the district and Gulabgarh Tehsil level to address water supply-related issues. Additionally, the DC reviewed the progress of smart washrooms being developed at Machail Bhawan and 12 others en-route from Gulabgarh to Machail.
