Amarnath Yatra to begin from June 28, Helicopter facility to reach the holy cave

After two consecutive years of hardship, the Amarnath Yatra will last 56 days this year. Starting from 28 June, the journey will run till 22 August. In 2019, the yatra was halted and in 2020 there was limited travel due to the Corona. The special thing is that this time special invitations will be sent to all the Akhara councils, Acharya councils. Along with this, helicopter facility from Srinagar to the holy cave will also be available to the passengers. Not only this, the accident insurance of passengers has also been increased from the current 3 lakh to 5 lakh. This time 10 thousand passengers will be allowed instead of 7500 per day. There are also plans to build permanent shelters, restrooms, healthcare centers and community kitchens along the route. Divisional commissioners have also been instructed to identify places for this. Several important decisions were taken at the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board meeting on Saturday along with fixing the date of the yatra.
