Ganderbal, Apr 13: Following a meeting with Additional District Development Commissioner (ADDC) Ganderbal, the owner of Langer, affectionately known as Helmet Baba in Baltal, expressed the possibility of deploying an ambulance near the holy cave this year to address any unfortunate incidents during the pilgrimage.
Swami Arpinanand, also known as Helmet Baba, informed Rising Kashmir that they are providing helmets to Amarnath pilgrims for their safe journey to the holy cave of Amarnath.
