JAMMU: Manoj Sinha, LG of J&K, on Wednesday chaired the 48th board meeting of Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board (SASB) at Raj Bhavan, where it was decided that the annual Shri Amarnath Yatra (2025) would commence from July 3 to the holy cave shrine and culminate on Raksha Bandhan, August 9.
The yatra will commence simultaneously from both routes — Pahalgam track in Anantnag district and Baltal in Ganderbal district. Considering the likely increase in pilgrims this year, the meeting discussed measures for increasing hotel capacity at centres in Jammu, Srinagar, and other locations, starting Yatri facilitation centres for e-KYC, issue of RFID cards, and on-the-spot registration of pilgrims at a number of locations including Nowgam and Katra Railway Stations.
