| Weather forecast: light rain/thundershowers likely today, Aug 1 | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
SRINAGAR, July 30:
Additional Chief Executive Officer of Shri Amarnath Shrine Board
(SASB), Preet Pal Singh, has said that as per the Meteorological
Department’s weather forecast for 31st July to 4th August: there is a
possibility of light rain/ thundershowers on 31st July – 1st August;
it is expected to remain generally cloudy on 2nd August, and partly
cloudy on 3rd – 4th August, 2011, in the Kashmir Division.
The Additional CEO has once again advised all those who intend to
visit the Holy Cave Shrine of Shri Amarnathji to ascertain the
obtaining weather conditions in the Yatra area before embarking on the
pilgrimage. The details of weather forecast are available on the
website of the Indian Meteorological Department, at
(www.amssdelhi.gov.in).
Singh also urged all intending pilgrims to have themselves medically
examined. “The Amarnath Yatra is very arduous and physically
challenging Yatra. Yatris have to trek through areas which are as high
as 14,000 feet under inhospitable conditions. In such places, the
atmospheric air is under low pressure and people suffer due to the
effect of Hypoxia (low oxygen). In rarefied atmospheric conditions, a
Yatri may develop pulmonary edema, cerebral edema or acute mountain
sickness. Individuals who suffer from any coronary artery disease,
bronchial asthma, hypertension or diabetes may collapse. Such persons
must not undertake the Yatra”, he added. The Additional CEO
said that the Yatra to the Holy Cave Shrine is progressing
satisfactorily on both the Baltal and Chandanwari routes since today
morning.
