The Jammu and Kashmir government has set up special offline registration centres to facilitate Yatris who have not yet signed up through the online mode for the 2025 Amarnath Yatra.
Reports said a large number of participants have visited these special centres set up by the government as the registration begins on Monday.
The Annual Yatra is likely to begin on July 3 through the Baltal and Pahalgam routes.
One of the devotees at the centre informed reporters that people are quite enthusiastic this time around. There is no issue or fear following the April 22 Pahalgam attack.
Meanwhile, another pilgrim praised the armed forces and the government for making adequate security and accommodation arrangements.
He said, "I request everyone to visit Jammu and Kashmir to tell terrorists we will not bow down and our faith in Amarnath is more than they can deter," adding terrorists can do whatever they want but we will visit the shrine," sending a strong message to the perpetrators of the April 22 Pahalgam attack.
Furthermore, several top dignitaries, including those from the security forces, civil administration and political figures, have visited J&K ahead of the annual Yatra to review security arrangements.
Before the commencement on July 3, the Central Reserve Police Force has rolled out a multi-pronged security plan along the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44) to ensure the safety and security of the devotees taking part in the 2025 yatra.
Apart from the ground security, forces have also deployed their K-9 (dog) squads to maintain proper security measures.
Additionally, the Jammu and Kashmir government has also declared the entire route leading up to the Amarnath cave a no-fly zone, thereby restricting the drones and other projectiles which may be used by terrorists to exploit the vulnerable spots during the Yatra.
The first batch of pilgrims will be flagged off from the Jammu base camp on July 2, 2025, while the Yatra will officially begin on July 3.
