New Delhi, June 2

Border Road Organisation (BRO) will complete the restoration work on Amarnath Yatra track by June 15, the Ministry of Defence said. The annual yatra is scheduled to commence on July 1.

The scope of work involves snow clearance, widening of the track, restoration of all foot bridges, fixing of hand rails, construction of break walls, among other things.

Earlier, the yatra track from Baltal to the holy cave was maintained by Public Works Department, Jammu & Kashmir, and the one from Chandanwari to the holy cave was maintained by Pahalgam Development Authority. The tracks were handed over to BRO in September 2022 for maintenance and upgrade.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
