Mufti, while addressing people in Pahalgam, one of the main routes of Amarnath Yatra, said people’s initiative should ensure that every yatri and tourist feels welcomed, respected and protected. The 57-day pilgrimage to the 3,880-metre-high cave shrine in the Himalayas of south Kashmir is set to begin on July 3. Pahalgam in Anantnag and Sonamarg in Ganderbal are the two main routes to the cave.
Safeguarding Yatra people’s collective duty: Mufti
“If yatris and tourists leave with a positive experience, they will carry the true story of Kashmir to every corner of India, a story of warmth, humanity, co-existence and the enduring spirit of our people. They will be our true ambassadors,” said Mufti. The People’s Democratic Party president said that safeguarding the yatra is not merely the responsibility of security agencies, it is the collective duty of people.
