Tourists
Safety Tips
Ludhiana Police Department would like to make
your visit to our exciting city as pleasant and
safe as possible. You can help us further by following
these simple tips while touring Ludhiana.
· Carry your wallet in an inside jacket
pocket or side trouser pocket, never in the rear
pocket.
· Carry pocketbooks in the bend of your
elbow, held close to your body. If there is a
long strap, wrap it around the bag. Carry credit
cards and cash in your pockets.
· Keep pocketbooks on your lap when dining
out, not dangling over the back of a chair. Avoid
placing pocketbooks on hooks on the back of a
fitting room or bathroom door, where someone can
easily reach over & removed them.
· Leave valuables and important papers,
such as jewelry and passports, secured in your
hotel's safe deposit box. Never leave these items
unattended in your room or carry large sums of
cash on your person.
· Be wary of unexpected persons coming
to your hotel room. Never op en the door to unsolicited
room service or maintenance people. Contact the
front desk if you have any doubts.
· If you schedule a meeting with a potential
client, research the company and the individual
with whom you are meeting. Meet in a public place,
such as a restaurant.
· Make sure that luggage is only given
to a member of the hotel's bell staff and a receipt
is issued for stored luggage. Never leave luggage
or other expensive items, unattended at airports
or taxi stands.
· Kindly contact on counter "May I
help you" available at airport, railway station
& bus stand for help and guidance.
· Adequate numbers of PCR & other police
officers are deputed in proper uniform in the
city. You can contact nearest police officer to
intimate about undesirable elements and touts
in your observation. However, police is taking
utmost care, vigilance and surveillance over these
elements, still it is felt that we can eliminate
these elements effectively with passengers active
participation in the drive.
· In addition to above, police officers
in plain clothes are also deputed to keep watch
on suspicious movements. Therefore, you should
never entertain the touts and unscrupulous persons
to avoid harassment.
· Preplan your destination in Ludhiana
regarding your stay and tourism in Ludhiana. Never
take advice of Taxi Drivers regarding your stay/tourism
in Ludhiana. Please strict to believe the information
of Police Officers, "May I help you"
counter, or any other Govt. recognized information
Centres.
· If you face any harassment or law and
order problem in Ludhiana, you can dial 100 number
from nearest telephone for police assistance. |
The
Train Traveller
Carry enough cash for your rail journey, as there
are no places to get cash on trains.
The food and water available at train cafeterias
tends to run out. In any case, fresh snacks are
rarely available and it is a good idea to carry
your own food and drinks. This will come in handy
if there are delays.
Carrying a pillow on train journeys is a good
idea, especially if you are used to sleeping with
your own pillow. You may find their pillows lumpy
or too high or too hard; yours will be just right.
When traveling by train at night, secure your
luggage by looping a long chain through the handle
of your suitcase/bag/rucksack and padlocking it
to a convenient surface. You could lock the chains
together too, making it difficult for someone
to walk away with your luggage while you are sleeping.
Avoid the agony of waking up on a train to find
that your shoes have been stolen. Stuff them into
the seat pockets or place them in your bag while
you sleep.
Find out in advance how long your train stops
at the station and on which side the platform
will appear. If you have several pieces of luggage,
start moving to the door well in advance so that
it is easier to disembark without making too many
trips back and forth.
Carry your own paper towels, soap and toilet paper
rather than being stranded on a long train journey.
Don't lose sight of the train you are traveling
in when it stops at a station. You wouldn't want
to be left behind at the platform browsing through
a station bookshop while your train pulls out. |
