Governor N N Vohra, who is the Chairman of the
board, presided over the 30th Board Meeting in New Delhi. Those present in the
meeting included its members Kapila Vatsyayan, Devi Prasad Shetty, Vijay Dhar,
Sunita Narain, Bhajan Sopori, D C Raina, and?Chander Mouli Raina. Keeping in
mind the present capacity of the tracks, available infrastructure in the yatra
area and all other relevant considerations the board decided that, excluding
yatris who would travel by helicopters on either route to Panjtarni, 7,500
pilgrims would be allowed to register for Yatra 2016 on per-day per-route
basis, he added. It also directed the CEO to take all required steps to
commence advance registration of pilgrims w.e.f from February 29 for both the
Baltal and Chandanwari routes. Reiterating that every yatri must obtain a
compulsory health certificate (CHC) from the doctors/ hospitals nominated by
the states and UTs before applying to the nearest located designated bank
branch for getting a permit, the board advised the CEO to once again send out
an appeal to all potential pilgrims to consult their doctors before embarking
on the pilgrimage even after having obtained a health certificate some weeks
earlier.
