Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, May 31: Governor N. N. Vohra, Chairman, Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board, today held a meeting with Navin K. Choudhary, Chief Executive Officer, P. P. Singh, Additional CEO, K. G. Bamba, General Manager (Works) and other concerned Board officers to review the progress of cutting and clearing the Yatra tracks along both the Baltal and Pahalgam routes.
The review meeting expressed serious concern over the pace of progress because of the repeated interruptions due to frequent spells of bad weather, rains and fresh snows in the upper reaches.
Under the Governor’s directions, a system has been set up for daily review of weather conditions in the next 3 days. As of today, as the weather will lift on 2nd June along the Baltal axis, the Governor and CEO will undertake an aerial reconnaissance on this date and also attempt landings at Panjtarni and the Holy Cave.
The Governor is chairing another meeting tomorrow to review the progress of work at the Base camps.
