install certain Ist-Aid fire fighting equipments to ensure the safety of life and
property of the yatries. For providing fool proof safety measures the other Govt.
Departments and concerned agencies have to Co-operate with this department in

Magistrate (Yatra Officer).
6. Atleast five days before begining of Yatra the Fire officer will give instructions
to the concerned tent owners at all the camping areas to make them know DO's
and DONT's so that the safety of camping area can be maintained.

segregated places and himself arrange for safety equipments to be installed
there.
8. Helicopter services and Langer wallas will make their own safety arrangements
at the helipads and respective langars. However, this department will render full
support in case an emergency arrives for which one fire post at each helipad will
be established.
The map provided by Yatra Officer with regard to the safety measures to be adopted in

39. DO’s and DON’Ts for Yatries
Do's
• Prepare for Yatra by achieving Physical fitness
In order to perform smooth and trouble free yatra, it is advisable to start
preparatory morning / evening walk of about 4 - 5 kms per day atleast a
month prior to Yatra. Apart from above If you can have daily massage of
your body with body oil, preferably mustard (sarson) oil and bathe in the
lukewarm water , this will help your body to become flexible and you will
not feel tired. Moreover the effect of sudden change in temperature & climate
on you will be reduced to a large extent . As oxygen gets rare some times , It
is better to improve your physical fitness . To increase your body efficiency
of oxygen , it is very good to start deep breathing exercises . The Yoga
exercise like Prana Yam can be learnt.
• Carry needful warm clothings and wind shield and proper shoes.
You have to trek through high mountains and there are cold winds blowing .
So during the Yatra, take Woollen Clothings, Small Umbrella (only Head
Cover with Elastic around Forehead and supported by strap around the chin),
Wind shield, Raincoat, Waterproof Shoes ( Preferably Hunter Shoes), Torch,
Stick, Cap (preferably Monkey Cap), Gloves, Jacket, Woollen Socks and
Trousers. These are
• essential as the climate is unpredictable and changes abruptly from sunny
weather to rain and snow. The temperature may abruptly fall even up to -5
degree C.

your pocket
• Take water bottle , dry fruit, and baked grams with you during journey.
