| Governor calls for putting in place all arrangements well in advance | | Shri Amarnathji Yatra-2011 | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, APRIL 7 – A deputation of thirteen representatives of the Shri Amarnath Barfani Langar Organisation (SABLO) called on the Governor, Mr. N. N. Vohra, at Raj Bhawan here today and presented a cheque of Rs. 2 lakh to him as a token contribution towards the sanitation arrangements in the Yatra area.
The deputation led by the President of SABLO, Vijay Thakur, assured the Governor, who is the Chairman of the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board, that they will fully regard his direction and devote special attention to maintaining cleanliness in the entire Yatra area, particularly in and around the Langar areas, adding that they shall launch a campaign for this purpose. They thanked the Governor for taking several new initiatives for progressively upgrading the facilities for the visiting pilgrims and repeated their earlier request that the duration of the Yatra should be reduced to 30 days in view of the serious difficulties faced by them to serve for a prolonged period.
The delegation put forth several suggestions in regard to the improvement in the facilities for the Yatris.
The Governor stressed the need for putting in place all the Yatra-related facilities, including power, water, medical, essential commodities, accommodation etc, at Baltal and Nunwan Base Camps, various halting points enroute and in the Holy Shrine area, well before the commencement of this year’s Yatra. He emphasized that the Langar service should be ensured for the Yatris at all the identified places till the conclusion of the pilgrimage, to avoid any inconvenience to the Yatris.
The Governor asked the Chief Executive Officer of the Shrine Board, Mr. R. K. Goyal to distribute among all the stakeholders a telephone directory containing the details of the Camp Directors, Langar Organisations and each of the other Service Providers to ensure improved coordination at all levels. He also issued instructions for displaying guide maps and Do’s and Don’ts display boards at each Camp indicating, in different colours, the location of tents, ponies, pithus, Langars, STD booths, medicare units etc. He said that the Do’s and Don’ts written on boards should also be displayed at conspicuous places for the guidance of the visiting pilgrims.
The Governor said that the repair and maintenance of toilets, baths, paths, drains etc should be taken up at the Base Camps and enroute, on urgent basis, as soon as the snows melt.
