Early Times Report
SRINAGAR, July 15: The Chief Executive Officer of the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB), RK Goyal, has appealed to all the Yatris who intend to undertake the pilgrimage to the Holy Cave Shrine of Shri Amarnath, to complete the necessary registration formalities and obtain a Yatra Permit before embarking on the pilgrimage to avoid inconvenience on arrival at the Base Camps and enroute to the Holy Shrine.
CEO added that for the convenience of the Yatris the registration facility is available at the 121 registration coun-ters established at the designated Branches of the J&K Bank, located across the country. The details of the registration counters are available at the Shrine Board's website (www.shriamarnathji shrine.com).
He clarified that because of the longer distance and travel time along the Sheshnag route the registration of pilgrims who travel on this route will be allowed up to August 22 while the registration in respect of the Baltal route, which is much shorter, will close on the August 23.
Goyal reiterated 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. The insurance policy has the provision of free of charge Accident Insurance Cover for every Yatri who possesses a Yatra Permit. This facility is not available to the un-registered Yatris.
CEO said that the Board has also issued a detailed advisory of 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.
He said that the Yatris need to strictly adhere to these Do's and Don'ts, as they have to undertake an arduous trek through high mountains under adverse weather conditions.
