| Ritika admires BRO for extending road connectivity up to Amarnath Cave | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Nov 7: Road poised to make yatra more comfortable and accessible for devotees in coming years Jammu: Chief Spokesperson BJP Mahila Morcha J&KUT Ritika Trehan applauded BRO which has created history by driving its vehicles right up to the Amarnath cave after widening the pedestrian track that passes through rugged mountainous terrain from Baltal to the shrine.
In a hand out issued here Ritika said the responsibility for this crucial infrastructure project was entrusted to the Border Road Organization (BRO), which has dedicated numerous workers and machinery to make this initiative a reality. For the past two years, the BRO has diligently labored to connect the holy cave of Amarnath, ensuring that pilgrims have a more accessible and convenient journey. Ritika further said that this initiative is met with anticipation and enthusiasm from pilgrims and authorities alike, as it promises to make the sacred journey to Amarnath Ji more convenient and accessible for the devotees, particularly in challenging terrains and high altitudes.
The development of a vehicular road to the holy cave marks a significant milestone in the facilitation of the annual pilgrimage to this sacred site. The road widening project was undertaken to alleviate the difficulties faced by pilgrims who traditionally had to travel to the Amarnath Cave on foot. This development is poised to make the pilgrimage more comfortable and accessible for devotees in the coming years, added Ritika. Ritika further said that the dedication and resilience of the workers were evident, as they continued to toil even in harsh weather conditions, including severe cold and sub-zero temperatures, to expedite the road's completion.
She said this substantial infrastructure project reflects the Indian government's commitment to preserving and enhancing the spiritual journey of those who seek solace at the Amarnath Cave.The annual two-month Amarnath Yatra witnesses the participation of thousands of Hindu pilgrims, with paramilitary forces and police deployed along the routes to ensure their safety and protect against potential security threats. The BRO's ongoing efforts to enhance the pilgrimage routes will undoubtedly improve the overall experience for these devotees, making their journey to the holy Amarnath Cave more accessible and secure, added Ritika. Meanwhile Ritika hit back at the PDP saying laying of the concrete road up to the holy cave shrine is being done after proper environmental impact assessment and no trees have been cut. "With the shrine of Baba Amarnath, lakhs of people have their faith.
PDP by opposing and finding faults in the road stretch is trying to repeat the 2008 land row, but people are wise enough and won't fall prey to politics of deceit again," Ritika said. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has completed the widening of the road from Dumail to the Amarnath Cave via Baltal base camp in Ganderbal district, marking a significant milestone in the project |
