UP devotee cycles 1,500 km for 14th Amarnath Yatra
Ganderbal, July 13: Faith knows no distance for 54-year-old Babu Giri, a resident of Jala village in Auraiya district of Uttar Pradesh, who has once again embarked on an extraordinary bicycle pilgrimage of more than 1,500 kilometres to pay obeisance at the Holy Amarnath Cave Shrine. Undertaking the arduous journey entirely on a bicycle, Babu Giri said this is his 14th consecutive annual pilgrimage to the revered Himalayan shrine, a tradition he has maintained for the past 14 years with unwavering devotion to Baba Barfani. Speaking to Rising Kashmir, the pilgrim said he began his journey from his hometown on June 21, 2026, and reached Kashmir after 24 days of cycling through several states. I have been coming on a bicycle for the past 14 years. This is my 14th Yatra. I started from Uttar Pradesh on June 21 and have now reached Kashmir after 24 days, he said. For Babu Giri, the pilgrimage is not about personal desires or material wishes but an act of pure faith. I do not ask God for anything. I only pray that everyone's wishes are fulfilled. That is my only prayer, he said. Despite covering thousands of kilometres on two wheels, the pilgrim said he has never faced any major hardship during his annual journeys. He credited the generosity of devotees and voluntary community kitchens (Bhandaras) along the route for supporting him with food and shelter. People know me from previous yatras. I stay at Bhandaras or sometimes at the homes of devotees. God has always taken care of me, he said. The Amarnath pilgrimage is only one part of his annual spiritual circuit. After completing the darshan at the Holy Cave, he plans to continue cycling to Kedarnath, Badrinath and Gangotri in Uttarakhand, completing a pilgrimage lasting nearly three months. Reflecting on the changes he has witnessed over the last 14 years, Babu Giri praised the significant improvements in infrastructure and cleanliness along the pilgrimage route. Earlier, there were no proper roads. Today everything is much cleaner and better organised, he observed. His inspiring journey comes as the ongoing Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra 2026 continues to witness a massive influx of pilgrims. According to official figures, more than 2 lakh devotees have already paid obeisance at the Holy Cave Shrine, with the pilgrimage progressing smoothly via both the Pahalgam and Baltal routes.

Gulmarg faces mounting infrastructure challenges amid tourist surge
Gulmarg, Jul 12: While the world-famous tourist destination of Gulmarg continues to attract heavy tourist footfall, the hill resort is grappling with major challenges of solid waste management and traffic congestion. In an exclusive conversation with Greater Kashmir , Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Gulmarg Development Authority (GDA), Tariq Hussain said the premier tourist destination remained one of the countrys most sought-after attractions because of its nature-based tourism. There is no competitor to Gulmarg in the country, he said. He, however, said preserving its environment while accommodating rising visitor numbers was the GDAs top priority. Currently, we are facing two major challenges, including the disposal of solid waste and traffic movement. But we are working on a scientific solid waste management system and expanding parking infrastructure to ease congestion, he said. The CEO said Gulmargs parking capacity currently stands at around 1,000 vehicles, which often proves inadequate during the peak tourist season. The influx of visitors, particularly those arriving by private vehicles from neighbouring states such as Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Uttarakhand, has intensified pressure on local infrastructure, he said. Hussain said Gulmargs estimated daily carrying capacity was between 3,000 and 4,000 visitors. He, however, said tourist numbers frequently exceeded that limit during peak periods. But to reduce pressure on the main resort (Gulmarg Bowl), the government is promoting sister destinations around Gulmarg as well, he said. The CEO said Gulmargs tourism was entirely nature-based, except for the cable car. Balancing conservation with increasing tourist footfall is a challenging task, he said. He said tourism had remained resilient and continued to support the local economy. Although Gulmarg remains primarily a winter tourism destination, hotels, guest houses and homestays have recorded satisfactory bookings during the ongoing summer season, Hussain told Greater Kashmir . About future plans, the CEO said the GDA was planning to introduce several infrastructure projects aimed at improving the visitor experience while reducing environmental impact. The new projects include the construction of pedestrian walkways, a multi-level parking facility, fencing around the heritage golf course and the restoration of the historic Maharaja Palace. The CEO said the GDA was also exploring the introduction of electric vehicles, shuttle bus services and a designated green corridor where visitors could move on foot, reducing vehicular movement within the resort. He, however, acknowledged concerns over the condition of the existing infrastructure and said the GDA would prioritise its preservation alongside future development. Responding to concerns following the recent technical snag in the Gulmarg Gondola, he said maintenance protocols had been strengthened and professional teams were conducting regular inspections in line with carrying-capacity norms. On the future of tourism in Gulmarg, Hussain said the GDA was also considering expanding tourism beyond Gulmarg by promoting border tourism at Botapathri, subject to security clearance. He said the Botapathri area, located close to the Line of Control (LoC), had the potential to accommodate more than 1,000 day visitors and could eventually host border safari experiences showcasing the regions scenic landscape. He said Gulmarg was the only tourist destination located close to the LoC. Gulmarg is located 30-40 km from the LoC and that is one of the most critical points. But Botapathri has the potential and a carrying capacity of 1000 tourists per day, he told Greater Kashmir . He said if the GDA and other concerned authorities received security clearance, it would pave the way for introducing border tourism in the area. We will take visitors up to the LoC where they will not only see the borders but also the beauty and hidden treasures beyond Gulmarg, he said.
Use heritage to inspire new minds: LG Sinha to youth
Srinagar, Jul 12: India's greatest strength is its rich spiritual, scientific and cultural identity, passed down through centuries like a torch. I appealed to the youth not to let that flame die.

Speaking on the occasion, the LG said our ancestors built India by balancing science with deep spiritual values, emphasising that progress requires both the scientist and the spiritualist. Sinha said that nation-building is a shared duty for every citizen. Youth are the builders of our future. Do not settle for ordinary achievements. Dream big, work hard, and strive for excellence. Our nation's journey succeeds through patience, hard work, and collective effort, he said, adding that India values both outward progress and inward spiritual growth, and traveling from Kashmir to Kanyakumari shows that core traditions are still alive. I want writers, thinkers, and artists to preserve and share this spiritual tradition. I am not suggesting we live in the past, but rather that we respect the truth, goodness, and grace of our heritage. We can stay open to the world while remaining deeply rootedjust like a tree with strong roots that survives the wind and grows, the LG said. The Lieutenant Governor invited society to do two important things: first, find a piece of heritage lost in the busyness of lifewhether it is a language, a song, a recipe, a story, or a traditionreclaim it, and inspire the next generation to do the same; second, remember that our greatest strength is our cultural identity, passed down for centuries like a burning torch.
