Dr.Karwani engaged with the concerned district administration, mandirprabandhak committee members, and pilgrims to evaluate the status of arrangements related to accommodation, sanitation, logistics, security, and other basic amenities. He instructed the Deputy Commissioners to designate a senior officer as a nodal officer to oversee and coordinate Yatra arrangements in their respective districts.
Subsequently, Dr.Karwani, accompanied by site engineers, inspected various Transit Accommodations for PM Package Employees under construction in North, South, and Central Kashmir.
