Yesterday, one Neeraj Chopra, resident of Suraj-Jung, Jalandher, Punjab, died due to cardiac arrest at Baltal base camp.
Every pilgrim holding a valid 'Yatra Permit' is covered under Rs one lakh insurance.
However, the pilgrims had to obtain a medical certificate from a doctor that he is fit to undertake the pilgrimage.
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) Navin Kumar Choudhary has once again appealed to the intending pilgrims to embark on the pilgrimage only after obtaining, in their own interest, a valid Yatra Permit.The CEO reiterated that yatris not possessing valid Yatra Permits will not be able to proceed beyond the Nunwan and Baltal Base Camps. The CEO said the Board has also issued a detailed Advisory of Dos and Donts for these visiting the Holy Cave.
The pilgrims need to strictly adhere to these Dos and Don’ts’ as they have to undertake an arduous trek through high mountain ranges under adverse weather conditions, he added.. |
