Improved arrangements for Amarnath pilgrims this year: LG
The lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha, on Tuesday evening, said that improved arrangements have been made for the convenience of the Amarnath pilgrims this year.
Talking to reporters after visiting Yatri Niwas base camp here, he said, 'We must carry forward the traditions of J&K and make this yatra a huge success.'
Sinha visited Yatri Niwas at Bhagwati Nagar on Tuesday evening to review arrangements for pilgrims. He also interacted with the devotees. 'I extended my warm wishes to pilgrims for a safe, blessed and spiritually fulfilling experience,' he said.
The LG informed that a large number of devotees from across the country have arrived for the Yatra.
The annual pilgrimage begins on Wednesday from Jammu. 'I have seen four previous Amarnath Yatras. Arrangements for the pilgrims are much better this time. Special emphasis has been given for better facilities and security for them,' he added.
Sinha informed that so far over 5,000 Yatris have reached Jammu and the number will go up further in the coming days. 'I seek cooperation from the people to make this yatra successful. This responsibility is not of administration and forces alone. It is a yatra of the people,' he said.
'It is a serene, enlightening and lifelong experience. May their pilgrimage be filled with joy, peace, and spiritual bliss,' he wrote on X.
