The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) has widened the tracks leading towards the Amarnath shrine, thus enhancing the accessibility for pilgrims traveling on foot, palkis, and ponies. The BRO also released a video that showcased the successful journey of the first vehicles reaching Amarnath after the road to the cave shrine was expanded under Project Beacon.
Addressing misconceptions about vehicle access to Amarnath shrine
Despite the successful expansion, the news of vehicles reaching the cave shrine sparked criticism, with political parties expressing environmental concerns. However, the BRO clarified that reports suggesting pilgrims could soon access the shrine via vehicular road were factually incorrect.
