Disaster-prone and vulnerable areas along the twin routes leading to the Amarnath shrine in south Kashmir Himalayas will be marked ahead of the yatra to the shrine in south Kashmir Himalayas, officials said on Thursday.
Directions for marking the areas have been given to the divisional administrations and deputy commissioners of Anantnag and Ganderbal by Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo at a meeting here, the officials said.
The annual yatra usually takes place in July-August, drawing devotees from across the country and abroad to the shrine.
Chairing the 15th High-Level Committee meeting of the Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board (SASB), the chief secretary asked line departments and stakeholders to ensure that comprehensive arrangements for the annual yatra are put in place well ahead of its commencement.
He stressed that early finalisation of works is critical to ensure seamless arrangements before the onset of the yatra.
