Amarnath Yatra to commence on June 7 Srinagar:
The annual two-month pilgrimage to the 3,880-metre-high holy cave shrine of
Amarnath will commence on June 7. The yatra will conclude on August 5, Raksha
Bandhan. Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra, who is the chairman of the Amarnath
Shrine Board, took a decision in this regard after consulting various quarters
and personally undertaking extensive aerial and on-ground surveys along both the
tracks to the Holy Cave, from Baltal and Pahalgam, in the last two weeks. The
SASB, in its 16th board meeting held in New Delhi on February 2 had authorised
Vohra to decide the Yatra schedule, the spokesman said. He said registration for
this year's Yatra, on both the routes-- Pahalgam and Baltal-- will commence from
May 20 in 110 designated branches of Jammu and Kashmir Bank. While no registration
of pilgrims from the Pahalgam route will be allowed beyond August 2, the registration
in respect of the Baltal route will close on August 4.
