With less than a fortnight left for the Amarnath Yatra, the Anantnag district administration is carrying out preparations on a war footing
The security arrangements have been made at the base campsite in order to avoid any untoward incident, Anantnag deputy commissioner Dr Piyush Singla told news agency .
"Arrangements for track opening, health facilities, sanitation and accommodation for pilgrims have been made so that people don't face problems," Singla added.
On June 11, additional chief secretary (home) RK Goyal reviewed the facilities for the Amarnath Yatra and had directed that there should be swift passage at checkpoints for pilgrims on way to base camps.
He had also directed the concerned officials to ensure appropriate security arrangements at the Yatri Niwas, news agency reported.
The 43-day-long yatra to the 3,880-metre-high holy cave shrine of Amarnath is scheduled to start on June 30 from the twin routes – traditional 48-km Nunwan in south Kashmir’s Pahalgam and 14-km shorter Baltal in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal.
