NEW DELHI: Citing security issues in the middle of continuous harsh weather condition in J&K and 2 back-to-back cloudburst catastrophes in Kishtwar and Kathua districts, the Doda district administration has actually cut the three-day Kailash Kund Yatra in Bhaderwah from Aug 20-22 to just symbolic routines this year.Kailash Kund Yatra is thought about among the most difficult treks, in which pilgrims cover an 18km high uphill journey in the Kailash range of mountains to reach a temple committed to the snake divine being, Vasuki Nag, and swim in the cold Kailash Kund to look for true blessings. A ritualistic procession of Chhari (mace) is an important part of the trip.“Chhari Mubarak will accompany the proposed group of yatris for a symbolic Kailash Kund Yatra, guaranteeing routines are carried out.
Ladies and kids are not allowed to participate this year due to security issues. Every pilgrim needs to bring a legitimate ID card provided by the district administration,” Doda deputy commissioner Harvinder Singh stated.Singh stated the Chattergala path was off-limits for pilgrims due to hazardous surface and big nallahs. “The Yatra will continue just through the standard paths of Sungli, Nalthi, and Drafda (Bhalla) in Bhaderwah,” he included.
Worrying that the security of enthusiasts was govt’s leading concern, Singh ensured that the administration, cops, health, and catastrophe management groups would extend all possible help. He advised pilgrims not to attempt to sign up with the yatra and suggested that they follow the advisory.A minimum of 64 individuals have up until now passed away in a devastating cloudburst-triggered flash flood that struck Kishtwar’s Chasoti, the last town on the Machhail Mata expedition path recently.
