As directed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, daily maximum number of pilgrims permitted on the pilgrimage route has been fixed. Compliance with this daily ceiling limit is mandatory for the safety of pilgrims and for the smooth conduct of the Yatra.
For pilgrims’ convenience, advance registration was made available well before the start of the Yatra through bank branches across the country and online channels. Most pilgrims have already taken advantage of this facility and completed their registrations in advance.
Therefore, Tatkal (on spot) registration slots are extremely limited. All pilgrims are requested to reach Jammu and Kashmir only after completing their advance registration.
Hence, it is not possible to accommodate thousands of pilgrims arriving in Jammu and Kashmir without registration, under the Tatkal facility. Such pilgrims are requested to wait for their turn and travel only on the date assigned by the administration.
It has also been observed that many registered pilgrims are arriving in Jammu and Kashmir before their registered travel date. No pilgrim will be permitted to travel before their registered date. Please travel only on your registered date.
Pilgrims who have arrived in Jammu and Kashmir without registration are again requested to wait for their turn.
Be assured that every pilgrim will get an opportunity to undertake the Yatra, but this will be possible only according to the prescribed procedure and available capacity.
You are requested to maintain order and cooperate with the administration to ensure everyone’s safety
