Amarnath Yatra: Over 1.5 lakh register in 12 days
The CEO said that the Board has also issued a detailed Advisory (Do's and Don'ts) for the Yatris visiting the Holy Cave Shrine of Shri Amarnathji, which are printed on the reverse of the Yatra Permit and also available on the Board's website.
IN THE first 12 days since commencement of Registration as many as 1,50,961 persons have secured the Yatra Permits through internet based e-Registration facility and 149 Bank Branches spread across various States, for performing this year’s Yatra to the Holy Cave Shrine of Shri Amarnathji, which is scheduled to commence on 29th June, 2011.
The Chief Executive Officer of Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board, R. K. Goyal, disclosed that the registration of Yatris has been progressing steadily since 10th May and all the designated Bank Branches are witnessing a heavy rush for registration for the pilgrimage and, on an average during the past 12 days, over 12500 Yatris have been availing the registration facility every day. He stated that of 1,50,961 Yatris registered so far, 78,287 have opted for the traditional Pahalgam route and 72,674 have secured registration for the Baltal route.
The CEO has once again appealed to all the intending Shri Amarnathji Yatris to ensure that they embark on the pilgrimage only after obtaining, in their own interest, a valid Yatra Permit, through internet based e-Registration facility or any of the 149 designated Bank Branches. This would ensure against any avoidable inconvenience to them on their arrival in Jammu and Kashmir State.
Goyal said that, as a consequence of the several new initiatives taken by the Board to bring progressive improvement in the Yatra management, all the registered pilgrims have been provided free accident Insurance cover of rupees one lakh. This Insurance covers every Yatri who possesses a Yatra Permit. This facility is not available to the un-registered Yatris.
