In view of the heavy rush of Amarnath yatries in the city, the Directorate of Tourism Jammu has launched a drive to ensure that the pilgrims are not overcharged and check other mall practices under the Tourist Trade Act by the providers of various tourist services and facilities.
In this connection, a team of officers/ officials of the department headed by Deputy Director Tourism Jammu Mr. Amit Sharma conducted surprise inspection of hotels, restaurants, travel and tour agencies as well as dry fruit shops located at Gumat area near bus stand and Shiv Market near Railway Station, Jammu. Such agencies/ shopkeepers who were operating without registration were warned to immediately get themselves registered failing which action under law will be initiated against the defaulters. He also directed all the agencies and shopkeepers to display their rates prominently and ensure that no complaints of overcharging are received by the Tourism department from the Amarnath yatries and other pilgrims/ tourists who are thronging the city during these days.
The drive will continue during the entire period of Amarnath yatra in other tourist areas of the region also to ensure that pilgrims/ tourists visiting the state are not cheated or overcharged. |
