36 lodgement centres set up to facilitate Amarnath pilgrims in Kathua
JAMMU, Jun 11 (PTI): Over three dozen lodgement centres and six Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) registration counters have been established in the Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir to facilitate pilgrims intending to join the annual Amarnath Yatra, an official said.
Lakhanpur, the gateway to Jammu and Kashmir bordering Punjab, is being decked up to receive the pilgrims from across the country during the yatra, the official said.
The 38-day-long yatra is scheduled to start from the twin routes -the traditional 48-kilometre Pahalgam in Anantnag district and the 14-kilometre shorter but steeper Baltal route in Ganderbal district – on July 3.
