Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Sunday, June 19, 2022, reviewed arrangements for the upcoming Amarnath Yatra in Ramban district of Jammu and Kashmir and said technology is being used to timely detect any "suspicious vehicle or movement" to ensure a peaceful pilgrimage.
The 43-day-long yatra to the 3,880-meter-high cave shrine of Amarnath is scheduled to start on June 30 from the twin routes of the traditional 48-km Nunwan in south Kashmir's Pahalgam and the 14-km shorter Baltal in central Kashmir's Ganderbal.
"A meeting with the Ramban district administration took place with focus on Amarnath Yatra. Since Ramban is the highway town and all the pilgrims are going to pass through the district (along Jammu-Srinagar national highway), the preparedness and arrangements were discussed in detail,” Singh told reporters after chairing the meeting.
