J-K: Fourth batch of pilgrims for Amarnath Yatra 2026 departs from Jammu base camp

Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], July 5 : Following the commencement of the annual Shri Amarnath Yatra 2026, the fourth batch of pilgrims has successfully departed from the Bhagwati Nagar base camp in Jammu on Sunday morning. A comprehensive, multi-layered security cover has been seamlessly put in place across the transit corridors to ensure the completely safe and smooth movement of pilgrims travelling through the valley. Devotees expressing their initial impressions highly lauded the elaborate security infrastructure, noting that the visible safety nets have significantly motivated them for the high-altitude darshan ahead. To address high-altitude health challenges and manage transit emergencies, the Udhampur Health Department has finalised a robust medical matrix stretching along the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH 44), specifically covering the sector from the Tikri Kali Mata Temple to the Chenani-Nashri Tunnel. Ten stationary first-aid camps have been operationalised at key bottleneck areas to provide immediate relief. Six fully equipped, life-support ambulances have been deployed at strategic intervals. These emergency vehicles are positioned to provide rapid, life-saving medical interventions and to facilitate the swift evacuation of any distressed or ill pilgrims to nearby healthcare facilities if emergencies arise, confirmed Chief Medical Officer Anil Manhas. Om Shiv Shakti Sewa Langar Committee President Varinder Malik stated that a 24-hour medical camp has been stocked with ample oxygen cylinders, blood pressure/sugar management medications, and dedicated ambulance backup alongside their continuous three-meal bhandara service running through August 28. Pilgrims arriving from various states, including Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, expressed immense satisfaction with the overall logistics, particularly appreciating the sanitation and lodging infrastructure provided by the Ramban administration at the Chanderkote Yatri Niwas, which has been illuminated beautifully in tricolour lights. Furthermore, engineering interventions executed on the challenging trek routes received high praise from the moving batches. This route used to be exceptionally difficult and hazardous. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO), including the 122 Road Construction Company (RCC), has done truly great work in maintaining and structurally improving the track from the Baltal base camp to the Holy Cave. I thank and congratulate the BRO, stated a devotee from Chandigarh. On Friday, the 57-day pilgrimage officially commenced and is being heavily monitored using digital surveillance and RFID tracking systems to ensure crowd management and safety. The annual yatra is scheduled to conclude on August 28, coinciding with the festival of Raksha Bandhan. (ANI)

Security Wing of J&K Police recover lost bag containing cash, jewellery and iPhone, return it to Amarnath Yatri at Baltal

Srinagar, Jul 04: Personnel of the Security Wing of the Jammu and Kashmir Police recovered a lost bag containing cash, jewellery, an Apple iPhone and important documents and returned it to an Amarnath pilgrim after a swift search operation at the Baltal base camp. According to police, the incident occurred on July 3 at around 8 pm when heavy congestion was witnessed at the X-ray screening point in Baltal due to a large influx of pilgrims undertaking the annual Amarnath Yatra. Amid the rush, Ravi Pangwani and his wife, residents of Chhattisgarh, reported that one of their bags had gone missing. The couple informed security personnel that the bag contained an Apple iPhone, cash, jewellery and important documents and requested immediate assistance, saying they would remain at the site until it was traced. Taking the matter seriously, the Security Wing of the J&K Police launched a search operation and sought assistance from the CCTV monitoring team. Footage from surveillance cameras helped identify a person carrying the missing bag away from the frisking point. Police said local tent operators identified the individual as Ghulam Rasool, who runs a tent at the Baltal base camp. Security personnel traced him within about 30 minutes and recovered the bag from his tent, where a group of eight pilgrims led by Arun Pladha from Madhya Pradesh was staying. During the inquiry, it emerged that Rasool had inadvertently picked up the bag along with the luggage of the pilgrims staying in his tent. The missing bag had been placed with the other pilgrims belongings and there was no indication of any deliberate attempt to misappropriate it. The recovered bag was returned to the couple after they verified that all the cash, jewellery, mobile phone and documents were intact. The couple expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Jammu and Kashmir Police, particularly the Security Wing personnel, for their prompt response and professionalism in recovering their belongings, police said.

Pilgrims begin Yatra along traditional Pahalgam route

Anantnag, Jul 3:Chanting Bum Bum Bhole amid a light drizzle, the first batches of pilgrims on Friday began the annual Amarnath Yatra through the traditional Pahalgam route, setting out on the 48-km trek to the 3,880-metre-high Himalayan cave shrine under tight security. Hundreds of pilgrims, including women, elderly devotees and sadhus, left the Nunwan base camp in Pahalgam early in the morning for Chandanwari, the first halt on the route located about 17 km away. Wrapped in raincoats and woollens, the devotees continued their journey despite intermittent rain. Deputy Commissioner (DC) Anantnag Dr Bilal Mohi-Ud-Din, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Amod Ashok Nagpure and other officials flagged off the first batches from the base camp. The cave shrine houses the naturally formed ice- stalagmite, revered by Hindu devotees as a symbol of Lord Shiva. Pilgrims reach the shrine either through the traditional 48-km Pahalgam route or the shorter 14-km Baltal route in Ganderbal district. While many pilgrims chose to undertake the trek on foot, others hired horses or palanquins to navigate the steep mountain track. Mahesh Solanki, 43, a first-time pilgrim from Uttar Pradesh, said he was impressed with the arrangements at the base camp. I feel blessed to be here. Our stay at the base camp was comfortable and the facilities are excellent. I had always wanted to undertake this pilgrimage, he said. Amit Jaiswal, 45, from Madhya Pradesh, said he had been visiting the shrine for the past three years. Every year I return with greater devotion. The excitement is unmatched. I can't wait to have darshan of Baba Barfani, he said. Reena, 45, from Delhi, who is travelling with her family, said she had long dreamt of visiting the cave-shrine. We are determined to reach the holy cave this time. It is a dream come true for every believer, she said. Mahesh, 40, from Maharashtra, said he would pray for peace and harmony during the pilgrimage. The atmosphere here is divine. Everyone should undertake this journey at least once in their lifetime, he said. Kashi Sumair, a sadhu from Varanasi, said the pilgrimage held deep spiritual significance. Our association with Kashmir goes back to the times of Kashyapa and Adi Shankaracharya. This pilgrimage is sacred for devotees, he said. The first batch of 4,822 pilgrims had left the Bhagwati Nagar base camp in Jammu on Thursday after being flagged off by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha. Officials said 2,510 pilgrims travelling in 112 vehicles proceeded to the Nunwan base camp for the Pahalgam route, while 2,312 pilgrims in 147 vehicles headed to the Baltal base camp in Ganderbal district. The 57-day pilgrimage will conclude on August 28. Thousands of devotees are expected to visit the shrine during the annual yatra. Authorities have deployed thousands of personnel from the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Central Reserve Police Force, Indo-Tibetan Border Police, Army and other security agencies along the twin routes. Multi-layer security arrangements, aerial surveillance and electronic monitoring have been put in place to ensure the smooth conduct of the pilgrimage.

Never knew Kashmir was so beautiful: First-time Yatris

Praise Valleys hospitality, beauty, spirit of brotherhood Srinagar, Jul 02: Yatri Niwas Pantha Chowk in Srinagar came alive with chants of Bam Bam Bhole, prayers and emotional scenes on Thursday as hundreds of first-time Shri Amarnath Yatra pilgrims arrived in the Valley, many of them overwhelmed by Kashmirs breathtaking beauty and warm hospitality. From elderly devotees to youngsters, the atmosphere at the Yatri Niwas reflected a unique blend of spirituality, excitement and relief as pilgrims prepared to proceed towards the holy cave shrine through the Baltal and Pahalgam routes. For many first-time yatris, the journeyturned intofar more than a religious pilgrimage. Alongside faith and devotion, pilgrims said they were deeply touched by the kindness, compassion and brotherhood shown by the people of Kashmir. We never knew Kashmir was so beautiful and peaceful, said Meena Sharma, a pilgrim from Delhi, while admiring the mist-covered mountains surrounding the city. We had heard many things before coming here, but after arriving, all our fears disappeared. The people here welcomed us warmly and guided us at every step. We are taking back beautiful memories from Kashmir. The arrival of pilgrims filled the Yatri Niwas with energy and devotion as volunteers, officials and security personnel assisted devotees with directions, registration and accommodation. Pushpa Devi, a first-time yatri from Madhya Pradesh, said the Valleys natural beauty and hospitality made the spiritual journey even more memorable. The mountains, cool breeze and peaceful atmosphere make this place feel heavenly, she said. But what touched us most was the behaviour of the people. Shopkeepers, volunteers and even strangers were helping pilgrims selflessly. We feel respected and cared for here. Several women pilgrims said they felt safe and comfortable during their stay in Kashmir and appreciated the support extended by locals and security personnel. As women travellers, safety is always a concern during long journeys, but here we felt completely comfortable, said Rekha Joshi, who arrived with a group from Gujarat. Locals offered us water, directions and help whenever needed. The police and volunteers are guiding everyone patiently. Another woman pilgrim from Maharashtra said the atmosphere in Kashmir had changed her perception of the Valley. We used to see Kashmir only in photographs and on television, but seeing it in person is a completely different feeling, she said. The greenery, rivers and mountains are mesmerising, and the warmth of people makes the experience even more special. Elderly yatris, too, shared emotional accounts of the assistance they received from residents and volunteers. At this age, travelling and climbing are not easy, said 70-year-old Om Prakash from Haryana. But young boys here helped elderly pilgrims with luggage and guided us patiently. Their humanity and respect touched my heart. Another elderly pilgrim from Rajasthan, Shanti Lal Sharma, said his perception of Kashmir had changed completely after visiting the Valley. We came here with devotion for Baba Amarnath, but we are also taking back love and affection from Kashmir, he said. People here welcomed us like family members. This journey will remain in our hearts forever. Pilgrims also praised the administration, Jammu and Kashmir Police and other security agencies for maintaining smooth arrangements and ensuring a secure atmosphere. The arrangements are excellent, said Rajesh Tiwari from Uttar Pradesh. From Jammu to Srinagar, everything has been systematic. Security personnel are present everywhere and are helping devotees with patience and humility. However, many pilgrims urged authorities to simplify the registration process and increase the number of registration counters, particularly for senior citizens and first-time visitors unfamiliar with procedures. Registration should be easier and quicker, said a group of pilgrims from Punjab. Long queues become exhausting, especially for elderly people and women travelling with families. More counters and help desks would make the experience smoother. Some yatris also demanded separate assistance facilities for women and elderly devotees at registration and transit points. Despite minor inconveniences, pilgrims said the warmth of Kashmirs people and the spiritual atmosphere overshadowed every hardship. For us, this is no longer just a pilgrimage, said one elderly devotee while preparing for the onward journey. It has become a lesson in humanity, brotherhood and peace. The majority of the pilgrims urged the LG Manoj Sinha-led administration to set up additional registration counters so that every pilgrim can undertake a hassle-free journey. There should be more counters for registration, andcompletion offormalities should be donein a very speedy manner.After performing darshan at the holy cave shrine, we would like to visit tourist places and take a shikara ride in Dal Lake as well, a group of enthusiastic pilgrims said.

Azim Premji University Launches Realising Rights: A Handbook of Welfare in India

India has built one of the world’s largest welfare systems, covering a majority of its population through programmes focused on food security, health, education, nutrition, employment, and social protection. Welfare measures such as the Public Distribution System (PDS), MGNREGA, and social security transfers played a critical role in protecting vulnerable households during the COVID-19 pandemic.   Delhi Event - Azim Premji University Launches Realising Rights A Handbook of Welfare in India   To examine the strengths, gaps, and future of India’s welfare architecture, Azim Premji University has released Realising Rights: A Handbook of Welfare in India. Developed by the Centre for the Study of the Indian Economy (CSIE), the Handbook brings together 27 authors across 18 chapters and offers a rights-based analysis of India’s welfare policies and public systems.   Key messages from the Handbook include: State governments account for nearly 90% of India’s social sector spending, while the Union government’s share has declined from 23.6% in 2008-09 to 8.5% in 2024-25. Governments collectively spend about 7% of GDP and 21% of total public expenditure on welfare sectors and schemes covered in the volume. Public spending on education remains around 4% of GDP and health below 2% of GDP, both below policy targets. Rights-based interventions have significantly expanded welfare coverage: Anganwadi centres increased from 6 lakh to 14 lakh following Supreme Court orders. The National Food Security Act expanded subsidised foodgrain coverage from 36.3 crore to over 81 crore people. MGNREGA generated 200–300 crore person-days of employment annually, with women accounting for over 55% of employment generated. The rapid expansion of cash transfer programmes is reshaping welfare delivery, while increasing digitisation is creating new challenges around exclusion and accountability. Key programmes continue to face gaps in coverage, funding, and implementation, including maternity benefits, nutrition programmes, pensions, and healthcare.   Indu Prasad, President, Azim Premji University, said “ India’s Constitution embodies a commitment to dignity, opportunity, and justice for every citizen. We hope this Handbook contributes to informed public dialogue and strengthens collective efforts to build a more equitable and inclusive India, advancing the aspiration of a Viksit Bharat that leaves no one behind.”   Dipa Sinha, Centre for the Study of the Indian Economy, Azim Premji University, said, “ The Handbook provides a comprehensive view of India’s welfare landscape through an analysis of major rights-based interventions of the Union government. We hope it serves as a valuable resource for academics, journalists, practitioners, and students, while helping translate research into action.”   By bringing together evidence from across sectors, Realising Rights: A Handbook of Welfare in India contributes to informed debates on welfare policy, governance, and social justice, and underscores the importance of strengthening universal and accountable public services.   azimpremjiuniversity.edu.in/publications/2026/book/realising-rights .   About Azim Premji University Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, was established under the Azim Premji University Act 2010 of the Government of Karnataka.
