Pankaj Jain, chief nodal officer for swine flu in Uttarakhand said that the hermits would first be trained and then asked to spread awareness among devotees. "More than doctors, devotees will listen to hermits and religious leaders. So training these people about swine flu will yield results. People will listen to them and the awareness will spread faster," he added.
