SRINAGAR: The annual Yatra to the Holy Cave Shrine of Shri Amarnathji in the Kashmir Himalayas commenced today from both the Pahalgam and the Baltal route, with Governor N. N. Vohra paying obeisance at the Sanctum Sanctorum and participating in the pratham pooja ceremony. He prayed for sustained peace, harmony, progress and prosperity in the State.
After his early morning visit to the Shrine, the Governor reviewed the arrangements made for the pilgrims at the Yatra Shrine Camp and conveyed the Shrine Boards thanks to the State Government, Army, Central Armed Police Forces, State Police and all the other concerned agencies for their support and cooperation. He stressed the need for effective supervision and round the clock monitoring by the Camp Directors and all the functionaries involved in the management of the Yatra for ensuring smooth conduct of the pilgrimage.
Meanwhile, Mr. P.K Tripathi, CEO of the Shrine Board has once again appealed to the intending Shri Amarnathji Yatris to embark on the pilgrimage only after getting medically checked and obtaining a valid Yatra Permit. This would ensure against any avoidable inconvenience to them.
The CEO said that the Board has also issued a detailed Advisory of Dos and Donts for the Yatris visiting the Holy Cave Shrine of Shri Amarnathji. The Yatris need to strictly adhere to these Dos and Donts as they have to undertake an arduous trek through high mountain ranges under adverse weather conditions.
