JAMMU, June 27
Welcoming Shri Amarnath ji bound Yatris to Jammu and Kashmir for annual pilgrimage and wishing them safe journey on day one, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) J&K Executive Member Raman Suri hailed the Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha administration for making elaborate arrangements on both routes. He also hailed the union government and Border Roads Organization (BRO) for widening the track to the cave shrine, thus making it much safer for the pilgrims.
The BJP leader said that today, when the first batch of pilgrims has set on to their journey, people across Jammu and Kashmir are jubilant and welcome them all to have a comfortable stay and a safe yatra. Raman Suri also welcomed the group of pilgrims that has come from Bangladesh to have darshan of the Shri Amarnath ji cave shrine, located at an altitude of about 13,000 feet from sea level, in South Kashmir’s Anantnag district.
This is a matter of pride for Jammu and Kashmir to host this batch of pilgrims coming from our neighbouring country Bangladesh, he said, adding that elaborate security measures are in place for the safety and security of all yatris. He said, the UT administration and the Union Government led by PM Narendra Modi have left no stone unturned and have built massive infrastructure for the comfortable stay of yatris en route to Shri Amarnath ji Cave Shrine.
Urging pilgrims to follow the government guidelines for their own safety and health concerns, Raman Suri said that the health department has also been geared up by the administration to provide better medical facilities to the yatris. He said, right from registration to health checkups, to what to carry and what not, everything has been set right by the government, and the pilgrims must use this advisory for their own convenience and safety. This, he said, will help them avoid any botheration.
Raman Suri further said, the LG administration has made elaborate stay arrangements for pilgrims at Saraswati Dham besides multiple other locations, which the yatris can utilise. He said, this annual yatra brings with it sanctity, religious fervour, enthusiasm and spirit of patriotism and oneness besides good economic boost for the people of Jammu and Kashmir. He added, right from Jammu to the Cave shrine of Shri Amarnath Ji, pilgrims also enjoy their stay at different locations and bring with them a cultural extravaganza and economy, that is highly appreciated and looked at with respect and faith.
