To avail the online registration facility, pilgrims will have to upload a Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC) issued by doctors or hospitals nominated for this purpose.
This will help in enumeration of Yatris and their tracking on real-time basis. For detailed procedure of online registration, a link has been given on the SASB website www.shriamarnathjishrine.com by the NIC.
The Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board will closely monitor this pilot project and strive to make it successful so that online registration for the annual of pilgrimage could be increased in future.
