JAMMU, June 29 (PTI) : ONGC has set up two 100-bed hospitals at the twin Amarnath base camps in Kashmir and announced that the facilities would continue to operate post the annual yatra.
The 52-day pilgrimage commenced from the twin tracks — the traditional 48-kilometre Nunwan-Pahalgam route in Anantnag and the 14-kilometre shorter but steeper Baltal route in Ganderbal — early on Saturday. The yatra is scheduled to commence on August 19.
ONGC said it teamed up with the health and medical education department to bolster the region’s healthcare infrastructure.
