Srinagar, July 05: The Director General of Police (DGP) of Jammu and Kashmir, Dilbag Singh, paid a visit to the Baltal base camp to assess the security arrangements and other facilities put in place for the Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage. Accompanied by Div Com Kashmir, Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, and SSP Ganderbal, Nikhil Borker, as well as other officers from Ganderbal District, the DGP also inspected the deployments along the route from Srinagar to Baltal.
During his visit, the DGP meticulously reviewed the logistics arrangements at Baltal and along the route. He also examined the parking facilities for yatri vehicles and assessed the communication arrangements. He also took stock of the CCTV cameras, drones, and additional security measures implemented to ensure the safety and monitoring of the yatris. The DGP also visited the Joint Control Room (JPCR) to assess its functioning and conducted a tour of the yatra camp and langers. During this time, he interacted with the yatris and assessed the facilities provided at the camp.
While addressing the officers at JPCR, the DGP stressed the importance of maintaining a high level of coordination to ensure the smooth conduct of the Amarnath Yatra. He emphasized the need for strict adherence to security protocols in order to regulate the yatra effectively. The DGP issued directives to provide all possible assistance to the yatris.
The DGP further instructed the officers to personally supervise the arrangements and provide proper briefings to the deployed personnel in their respective jurisdictions. He also emphasized the strengthening of communication networks and real-time coordination for the efficient dissemination of information. Additionally, the DGP visited the hospital at Baltal and reviewed the medical facilities available.
During a media interaction, the DGP explained that his visit, accompanied by Div Com Kashmir, aimed to assess the security and other arrangements made for the pilgrims. He highlighted the availability of improved medical facilities for the yatris and emphasized that the JPCR serves as a coordinator between different departments, security agencies, and the pilgrims. He further mentioned that additional rescue teams have been deployed this year to provide assistance and aid to the yatris. The DGP assured that security and other necessary arrangements are continuously monitored through the use of CCTV cameras and drones. He concluded by stating that all planned security measures have been implemented to ensure a smooth and secure Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra pilgrimage.

The Amarnath pilgrimage, an emblem of deep spirituality and reverence, continues to attract devotees from far and wide. With each batch setting forth, the air is filled with an air of devotion, as these pilgrims embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.
 
 
Over 67566 perform darshan at Holy Cave so far
The Shri Amarnathji Yatra continues to progress smoothly, with favorable weather conditions prevailing since the beginning of the pilgrimage. Pilgrims from all corners of the country have converged on Kashmir to undertake the sacred Darshan of the Amarnath cave.
A total of 18354 pilgrims made their way to the shrines, departing from both the Baltal Base Camp and Nunwan Base Camp. Among them were 12483 males, 5146 females, 457 children, 266 Sadhus, and 2 Sadhvis.
The cumulative number of yatris who have performed the darshan since the start now stands at 67566, with more pilgrims expected to visit the shrine in the coming days.
To ensure a smooth journey for the devotees, state agencies and civil departments have been actively assisting the pilgrims and making all essential facilities available to them.
Various departments, including the Police, SDRF, Army, paramilitary forces, Health, PDD, PHE, ULB, Information, Labour, Fire & Emergency, Education, and Animal Husbandry, have pooled their resources and manpower to fulfill the overall requirements and arrangements for the Shri Amarnathji Yatra.
Under the careful supervision of the Camp directors, comprehensive facilities have been extended to the yatris, including well-equipped Langers (community kitchens), healthcare facilities, and assistance from service providers such as poniwallahs, pithuwalas, dandiwalas, sanitation workers, and many others.
Today, a pilgrim who commenced his journey on a bicycle from Madhya Pradesh on May 25 arrived at the Shadipora transit camp. He was warmly welcomed by the Camp Magistrate, expressing appreciation for his unique mode of travel.
A family that has been on the yatra remarked that they were greeted with affection by the local residents and received excellent care from the administration. They expressed their joy and gratitude for the overall arrangements made for their visit.
For any emergency assistance, the government has established help desks at each camp, where pilgrims can avail themselves of necessary aid.
