Srinagar, May 31: Governor NN Vohra who is also the Chairman of Shri Amarnath Shrine Board Thursday chaired a meeting to review the progress of cutting and clearing the Yatra tracks along both Baltal and Pahalgam routes.
 Among others the meeting was attended by Navin K. Choudhary, Chief Executive Officer, P. P. Singh, Additional CEO, KG. Bamba, General Manager (Works) and other concerned Board officers.
 An official spokesman said the meeting expressed serious concern over the pace of progress because of the repeated interruptions due to frequent spells of rains and fresh snowfall in the upper reaches. “Under the Governor’s directions, a system has been set up for daily review of weather conditions in the next three days.  Subject to good weather, the Governor and CEO shall undertake an aerial reconnaissance on the Yatra routes and also attempt landings at Panjtarni and the Holy Cave,” the spokesman said.
 The Governor is chairing another meeting on Friday to review the progress of work at the Base Camps.
