Amarnath Yatra: Border Roads Organisation to widen twin tracks with railings

Pahalgam, 4/6: With a view to making life easier for Amarnath pilgrims, the twin routes through Pahalgam and Sonamarg will be broadened with railings by the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), as per a report in The Hindu.

The journey to the shrine can be hostile, with the altitude hitting the 13,000-feet mark.

 

“We are deploying our machines and teams in places where we are expecting a landslide. The Centre has given us permission to improve border roads,” the publication quoted Lt. Gen. Rajeev Chaudhry, Director-General of the BRO, as saying.
