As the annual Amarnath yatra is scheduled to commence next week, Chief Executive Officer of Shri Amarnath Shrine Board R K Goyal visited the holy shrine and took stock of the arrangements.

Mr. Goyal, who was accompanied by a team of SASB officers, also visited Domel and Baltal base camps along the shortest route to the cave shrine yesterday and reviewed all the arrangements for the yatra, commencing on June 29, an official spokesman said here today.

He issued instructions to all the concerned agencies and various service providers to ensure that all the arrangements are on the ground latest by June 28, the spokesman said.

He said the CEO discussed in detail various issues pertaining to water and power supply, sanitation arrangements, repair and maintenance of lanes and drains and creation of other requisite facilities for the yatris, which are in the final phase of completion.
