The meeting provided participants with briefings on travel arrangements, safety measures, health precautions, accommodation facilities, and other important aspects related to the pilgrimage. The organizers urged all pilgrims to strictly follow the guidelines to ensure a safe and successful journey.
The gathering also appealed to Assam Chief Minister Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma and Nalbari MLA and Assam Cabinet Minister Jayanta Mallabaruah to extend their blessings and best wishes to the pilgrims embarking on the sacred journey on July 1.
The pilgrimage team will travel under the leadership of Amarnath Bhole Seva Dal President Gokul Mahanta, Executive President Nripen Ramchiary, and Secretary Dharmeswar Haloi. Enthusiasm among devotees is reportedly high as preparations gather pace for one of Hinduism’s most revered annual pilgrimages.
