ANANTNAG: As part of the preparatory phase for the upcoming Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra (SANJY) 2026, the Deputy Commissioner (DC), Anantnag (Yatra Officer Pahalgam Axis), Dr. Bilal Mohiuddin Bhat today chaired a meeting of the concerned officers to review and finalise the plans for deputation of advance parties to the Yatra track including base camps and other important locations.
ADC, ACR, Exen IFC, BDOs Shangus and K.Pora, Tehsildars Anantnag, Pahalgam and Dooru, SDPO Pahalgam, officials from RDD, SDRF, F&ES and other concerned departments attended the meeting.
Pertinently four specialized teams comprising officials of Revenue, Police, RDD, SDRF, F&ES, IFC and PWD have been designated to conduct a thorough physical audit of the entire route from Nunwan Base Camp upto the Holy Cave. Acting as the key part of the district administration's preparation efforts, each team has a well defined jurisdiction/stretch for ensuring a holistic assessment of the ground conditions.
During the review, the Deputy Commissioner emphasized the critical importance of meticulously capturing every detail along the track, from the structural integrity of the paths to the strategic placement of utility points. He asked the teams to assess the possible impact of seasonal weather on the terrain, and verify the readiness of sites designated for medical camps, shops, tents, langars, and emergency shelters during the Yatra period.
Dr. Bilal on the occasion directed for organising a proper training session forthwith for the departing parties so that they perform the assigned tasks with utmost precision and efficiency.
The advance teams have been mandated to identify highly prone flash flood zones and adjoining buffer areas besides earmarking safe locations for pitching of tents and establishing shops, langars and camps by security forces. They will conduct vulnerability mapping by ground marking fragile and unsafe zones so that prohibition of establishments can be ensured at such locations.
Further, the teams were asked to submit a scientific layout plan for the establishments so that a safe, seamless and congestion free Yatra is made possible for the pilgrims. The data collected by these parties will serve as a meaningful reference for the deployment of resources leading to a safe and seamless Yatra experience.
