A new initiative of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to make Amarnath Yatra easier: A road will be built to the holy cave:
Govt is making easy way to reach the holy cave so as not to cause any kind of trouble to the pilgrims: So far 3.8 km of cutting has been done: Dodgers, rock breakers etc are also involved: According to officials, such heavy equipments and machinery have never been used before Domel. Not done.
New Delhi: At present it usually takes 7 to 8 hours to reach Baba's Cave from Baltal. It takes about 5 hours more if the crowd is heavy. In such a situation, it takes up to 12 hours for devotees to see Baba. Now after the completion of this road, devotees will have darshan of Baba in just 4 to 5 hours.
According to the information, Amarnath Yatra is considered the most difficult of all the Yatras. The dangerous roads here test the way of the pilgrims. In such a situation, now a good news is coming for the devotees going on Amarnath Yatra. Modi government is making special arrangements for devotees going on Amarnath Yatra. The government is making an easy way to reach the holy cave so that the pilgrims don't face any kind of trouble. For this, the government system has also been continuously employed to complete this task quickly. Prime Minister Modi himself is keeping a direct eye on this project.
Work is underway on the cable car project up to Amarnath Cave. Feasibility survey has been completed. If everything goes well, the work on the cable car project can start from 2023. The rescue team can reach in case of cloudburst or emergency situation. Victims can be fired immediately. Now it's a whole day. 10-12 hours of work every day.
Earlier work was slow due to lack of technology and resources. The Jammu and Kashmir administration then handed over the development, maintenance and administration of the road to the BRO in September. The organization accepted the project as a challenge and started work on 29 September. The distance between Baltal and Pavitra Gufa is approximately 13.2 km. Domel, Barari and Sangam come in between. Domel is 2.75 km from Baltal. There are hills and valleys here, which makes it more dangerous.
The route of Amarnath Yatra will be easier from next year. Work on the road connecting Baltal to the holy cave is going on in full swing. Importantly, the Border Road Organization (BRO) has now taken charge of this project. After that, operations are going on war footing. BRO is committed to complete road work before snowfall. The target is to complete the project by next year. BRO does this work with skilled workers and modern machinery.
