J&K govt. hands over Amarnath shrine twin tracks in Kashmir to BRO

The J&K administration has handed over the twin routes to the Amarnath cave shrine in highly ecological-sensitive locations in south and central Kashmir to the Border Roads Organizations (BRO) for maintenance.

In the latest order by the Roads and Buildings department on Tuesday, the government decided to transfer the Chandanwari- Sheshnag-Panchtarni-Holy Cave, which is an unlaid rocky trek, and the Baltal-Holy Cave tracks to the BRO “for development, maintenance and management”.

“The Government has also approved transfer of Ranga to Baltal road including Nilgrath to Y-Junction to the Border Roads Organization for development and maintenance,” the order said.
