The Swat district administration has chalked out comprehensive plan to extend maximum facilities to the tourists during the forthcoming Eid-ul-Fitar.
Deputy Commissioner (DC) Swat Shahid Mahmood chaired high level meeting that took a number of decisions to facilitate tourists who might flock the scenic valley this Eid in wake of the ensuring summer season. The meeting was attended by the regional and district high ups of all line departments including DPO, all ACs, TMOs, Civil Defense Officer, XEN highways, PD NHA, Emergency Officer Rescue 1122, Regional Information Officer and representative of Pak Army. It was decided that TMA and health officials would regularly check the quality and prices of food stuff at shops and hotels.
DPO Swat was tasked to take immediate steps for security, safety, comfortable stay and related facilitation of the tourists with active involvement of regular, traffic warden and tourist police, special branch and DSB wherein Civil Defense, Swat levy, rescue 1122 and TMAs of all seven Tehsils will equally contribute to make all the arrangements a success story.
Civil Defense has already provided 300 Razakars and Swat levy 250 Jawans to the district police for deployment in Eid days who were being properly trained for the purpose to facilitate the vehicular traffic and tourists on the highways right from Marghazar to Kalam and elsewhere in Swat. It was decided to cancel the weekly and Eid holidays of security, highways, TMAs and health officials.
It was also decided that all roads either minor or major and highways would be cleared from every kind of hurdles for smooth passage of traffic and no parking or tax collection would be allowed on roadsides. Parking lots to be set up on vast open places would be essentially staffed for the quick disposal and dealing of commuters while car lifter vehicles and cranes would be available stand by at suitable distances to cope with any eventuality.
Similarly, Rescue 1122 and all health centers on roadsides would have special arrangements for the health cover whereas rescue teams including divers, doctors, and paramedical staff with sophisticated first aid equipment would be deployed on main points. Razakars on important river banks would properly guide the tourists to avoid any mishap while taking selfies or doing other activities.
