The registration for Amarnath Yatra is going on smoothly in 446 branches of Jammu and Kashmir Bank, PNB Bank, Yes Bank and 100 branches of State Bank of India across the country. The pilgrims can also register online through the website and mobile app of the Shrine Board. Meanwhile, a foolproof security plan is being finalised for the Yatra.
Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla has already reviewed the security preparedness of Amarnath Yatra and Union Home Minister Amit Shah is also likely to hold a security review meeting very soon. A Yatri Niwas is being readied in the Ramban district which can accommodate around 3,600 pilgrims. The Yatris will be given an RFID tag, which will ensure the exact location of the person at all times. The Amarnath Shrine board is expecting a footfall of more than three lakh pilgrims this year. The Yatra will begin on 30th of June and conclude on 11th of August 2022.
