Jammu and Kashmir Governor N.N. Vohra who is also the Chairman of Shri Amarnath Shrine Board, is visiting Chandanwari and Nunwan base camps of Shri Amarnath Yatra today to review the snow clearance work on the two yatra tracks. 

He is later scheduled to chair a high level meeting of Divisional and district Administration to review the latest preparations being made for the timely commencement of the Yatra. The Annual Pilgrimage is scheduled to start on June 25 and will culminate on August 2, 2012, the day of Rakshabandhan.

While Government and Amarnath Shrine Board are making all out efforts and are working day and night to ensure that the yatra starts on time, the weather is hindering the snow clearance work. Since the track is having almost 18 feet snow at many places, the Shrine Board has deployed sufficient number of labour and machinery to clear the tracks. 

Special Secretary of the Union Home Ministry, Mr. Ashok Chadda also reviewed the Yatra arrangements at Pahalgam and Srinagar last week and had stressed on close coordination among different departments for a successful Yatra.
