January 31 (TravelAndy): Almora, located in the India’s mountain state of Uttarakhand, has come up with Heaven Almora, an Android application that will serve as a tourist guide to the visitors, TOI said.
The app, designed by the disaster management department of Almora, is aimed at providing tourists information about the tourist attractions of the place, weather advisories including road blockades, landslide and rainfall.
The app will also provide travelers with emergency phone numbers.
“The app has emergency contact numbers of police stations, hospitals, fire stations, petrol pumps, nearest schools and shelters. The information will be available offline, even when there is no phone signal or data connection. If a person is stuck somewhere, the app will provide information on the nearest police station and rescue operations,” Rakesh Joshi, district officer of disaster management department told TOI.
Once it is officially launched, the app can be downloaded from the Google Play store.
