"The registration of pilgrims for Shri Amarnath Yatra will begin from March 18 for both Baltal and Chandanwari routes - through 422 designated bank branches," Navin K Choudhary, Chief Executive Officer(CEO), Shri Amarnath Shrine Board in a statement issued here said today. Mr Choudhary said this year's 55-day-long Yatra will commence simultaneously on both the routes from June 28 and culminate on August 21 (Raksha Bandhan). He said the procedure for registration has been uploaded on the website, www.shriamarnathjis-hrine.com, which also contains the application form and state-wise list of bank branches with complete addresses which the Yatris can approach for registration.
