The holy Amarnath Yatra is going to start from June 29. This journey will last for 52 days. Last time it ran for 60 days from July 1. This time snowfall happened late and is still continuing. There is more than 10 feet of snow in the cave area. Both the trek routes from Pahalgam and Baltal to the cave are buried in 2 to 10 feet of snow. Therefore, the chances of melting till June are less. In such a situation, the army is preparing the travel route according to every weather.

For the first time, both routes will be completely equipped with 5G fiber network. 10 mobile towers will be installed as soon as the snow melts. Most of the poles have been installed for 24 hours electricity. According to Kashmir's Divisional Commissioner Vijay Kumar Bidhuri, this time our focus is on increasing the convenience of passengers. Maximum arrangements for food, halt and health check-up are being made throughout the route. Earlier the 46 km long road from Pahalgam to Gufa was 3 to 4 feet wide, while the road to Baltal was only 2 feet wide. Now it has been widened to 14 feet.
He further said that the road will be repaired by removing snow. Last time 4.50 lakh devotees had come. This time this figure can go up to 6 lakhs. The visit is of short duration and the company will be big, so further arrangements are being made. The Army has started removing snow on the Baltal-Gufa road.
