Srinagar, Jun 5: To ensure the safety and security of tourists and pilgrims during the Amarnath Yatra 2026, police in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district have launched the ‘Pahchan App’, a QR-based mobile application designed to register and regulate service providers operating along the Yatra route and at key tourist destinations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The application enables instant, on-spot verification of service providers and creates a secure ecosystem by clearly differentiating registered and verified individuals from unregistered ones, police said in a statement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It said the primary objective behind launching the app is to strengthen the overall security grid during the Yatra period by preventing the entry of unverified or anti-social elements in the guise of service providers.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“By creating a digital record of all the authorised persons, the app brings greater transparency and accountability to the services offered to pilgrims and tourists.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“It will also aid in smooth crowd management, as organised and regulated service delivery reduces disputes, overcharging, and congestion on the Yatra tracks,” the statement said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The initiative will instill confidence among the Yatris and tourists by ensuring that they interact only with verified individuals.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“The app empowers genuine service providers by giving them a digital identity and formal recognition,” the statement said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
