Shrine Board
launches free Online Yatra Registration
KATRA, May 6: In
its endeavor to progressively improve the process of the registration for the
pilgrims visiting the Holy Shrine of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi, the Shrine Board
today launched the facility of Online Registration for undertaking the yatra. Speaking
on the occasion, Navin K Choudhary, Chief Executive Officer, SMVDSB informed
that online registration for procuring a Yatra Slip is a part of ongoing
efforts of the Board to facilitate the pilgrims by using Information Technology
and to progressively improve the existing procedures, apart from enhancing the
accessibility of the services to the yatris who come from all over the country
and abroad. This initiative is a part of several steps which are in the process
of being undertaken for facilitating the pilgrims, using Information
Technology, under the directions of N. N. Vohra, Governor, who is the Chairman
of the Shrine Board.
Mr.
Choudhary further informed that this service will be available totally free of
cost and any person planning to visit the Holy Shrine can, sitting at home,
online book his yatra Permit for entering the Yatra track on a chosen day, as
early as 30 days in advance of commencing his pilgrimage. The pilgrim can even
book online on the very day of his pilgrimage. Once a pilgrim books online, he
will get a printed Registration Slip which he would need to carry with him on
his pilgrimage. Each Yatra Registration Slip will have a specific number and a
bar-code. Thus, every pilgrim carrying such a slip can start his journey to
Holy Shrine from Banganga without having to stand in a queue in front of a
Yatra Registration Counter, at Jammu
or Katra.
The
CEO informed that the Registration Slip will be checked by the Shrine Board
staff at the Banganga Entry Gate, and for this purpose the pilgrim will need to
carry his Identification Card, for cross verification and security purposes.
The CEO added that current Yatra Registration can also be done at Airport Jammu
Vaishnavi Dham & Sarasvati Dham, Jammu
and at the Yatra Registration Counters No. 1 and 2 at Katra.
