GANDERBAL

2 | P a g e

OBJECTIVE

To direct and enable the state government and local administration to prepare

appropriate guidelines for effective and efficient management during the holy yatra and to

earmark roles and responsibilities to State, District and local authorities for effective yatra

management.

AIM OF THE PLAN

i. To provide an outline for administrators to plan and manage the yatra better.

ii. To provide practical guidelines to the yatra organizers so as to manage the crowd and

ensure their safety.

iii. To provide a road map for capacity building for crowd management.

Introduction

The newly created Ganderbal district came into existence in 2007 by deletion of areas of

Ganderbal and Kangan from erstwhile Srinagar district. District Ganderbal is located at 34.23°N

74.78°E on the northern side of world famous Srinagar city of Kashmir valley at an elevation of

1600 to 3000 meters above Mean Sea Level (MSL). The District extends from Ganderbal to

Sonamarg (Gumri) and National Highway NH-1A passes through the centre of district

connecting Leh and Kargil district of Ladakh region with other district of the state. It covers total

area of 37,901 hectare as per village papers. The dimension of the district is 80 and 30 square

kilometres approximately. It is bordered by district Srinagar in the south, Bandipore to the north,

Kargil in the north east, Anantnag to the southeast and Baramulla in the southwest. It is divided

into four blocks viz, Ganderbal, Kangan, Lar and wakoora. Nallah Sindh, a major tributary to the

Jehlum River flows through this district. The water of the river is mainly used for irrigation, and

generation of Hydroelectricity.

Ganderbal District has a topography which ranges from treacherous lofty mountains

barren of any vegetation in areas adjacent to District Kargil to temperate climate in the rest of the

District. Due to Funnel Effect, western disturbances bring in huge amounts of precipitation in

areas around Zoji-la & Sonamarg. The mountain peaks like Harmukh, Kolahoi, Gunj etc. in the

SogputDhar Range remain snow clad all the year round. In fact these are the areas with the

highest precipitation in the Valley. Fortunately this is very sparingly populated area. However,

National Highway (NH-1D) passes through this area, with infamous Zoji-la pass having a history

of disasters. With alternate Baltal route gaining popularity almost half of the Yatries (pilgrims) to

Amaranthji Shrine visit the place via Baltal. Ganderbal and River Sindh (locally known as

Sendh) are inseparable entities. Lofty mountains and Glaciers being sources of this torrential

river, heavy and devastating floods have occurred at least twice in past twenty five years. Great

force and velocity of water has caused severe damages to houses, crops, roads and bridges. As

the river slows down near Ganderbal, Where it enters plains water logging and flooding is a

recurring feature in villages to either side of the river like Gadoora, Shallabugh, Harran,

Fatehpora etc.

Climate

Ganderbal district possesses all the typical characteristics of the climate of Kashmir

Valley as a whole. In the heat of July, the breeze of the Singh River is a welcome relief. Sir

Walter Lawrence writes in his book The Valley of Kashmir that in latitude, Kashmir corresponds

with Peshawar, Baghdad and Damascus in Asia: with Fez in Morocco: and South Carolina in

America, but it presents none of the characteristics of those countries. People have linked the

climate of Kashmir to that of Switzerland until the end of May, and of Southern France in July

and August. But it is impossible to speak of Kashmir as possessing any one climate or group of

characteristics. Every hundred feet of elevation brings some new phase of climate and of

vegetation.

Background of the Yatra

Every year for about 40-45 days between July – August, lakhs of people travel to the

Amarnath cave in South Kashmir to pay obeisance to an ice stalagmite, which is believed to be

an embodiment of the Hindu deity Shiva. According to mythology, it is here that Shiva narrated

the story of eternity to his consort Parvati, from where the cave gets its name Amarnath, meaning

God of Eternity. The ice stalagmite is located in a cave at an elevation of 13,500 feet. At the rear

end water drips through crevices which starts freezing as it touches the floor of the cave, thus

forming the stalagmite. While several kinds and shapes of ice stalagmites are found the world

over, in the case of the one in the Amarnath cave, several such spirals of stalagmites unite to

form a solid dome-shaped form of ice. Next to this dome are two smaller ice formations believed

to represent Parvati and Ganesh. It is believed that the stalagmites change with the waxing and

waning of the moon and it is only in the month of Shravan in the Hindu calendar that the

formation is complete. It is also believed that the full moon day in the month of Shravan called

the Shravan Poornima is particularly auspicious to pray in the cave.

4 | P a g e

The Amarnath Cave is situated in the region north of Pahalgam and south of the Zojila

Pass in Kashmir. It can be accessed through 2 routes – one from Pahalgam, district Anantnag

(Nunwan), to the Cave and the other from Baltal, district Ganderbal. The Pahalgam route is also

the traditional one, and since it is 33 kms long it takes yatris 5 days from Nunwan to the Cave

and back. Prominent milestones on this route are Chandanwari, Pisu Top, Sheesh Nag,

Mahagunus Top, Panchtarni, Sangam. The second route from Baltal is a newer and shorter route

of 18 kms which can be completed in a day. Both routes meet at Sangam from where there is a

single path to the Cave.

History of Disasters

1. 1996 Amarnath Yatra tragedy: 1996 Amarnath Yatra tragedy is referred to the deaths

of over 250 pilgrims in 1996 in Jammu and Kashmir State in India due to bad weather.

The pilgrims were on annual pilgrimage (Yatra) to Amarnath shrine. During this period

there was unusually heavy snowfall along with severe blizzards along the yatra route.

Yatris lost their lives due to exhaustion, exposure, freezing, etc.

2. Road accident (2012): On July 27, 2012, Sixteen (16) Amarnath pilgrims were killed

and 16 others injured when a truck carrying them plunged into a deep gorge in Samba

district of Jammu and Kashmir.The truck carrying 34 pilgrims, who were engaged in

setting a community kitchen at Amarnath, was returning back when it skidded off the

road and rolled down deep into the gorge near ZamoorhaMorh in Mansar belt of Samba

district, about 50 kilometres from Jammu city.

3. Cloudburst (2015): Three people were killed and 11 injured after a cloudburst triggered

flash floods and landslides near the Baltal base camp of the Amarnath yatra in Central

Kashmir’s Ganderbal district on July 25, 2015. Atleast 50 tents and shops as well as the

parking area outside the main gate of the base camp were affected.

SHRI. AMARNATH JI YATRA-2018

This year, Shri. Amarnath Ji Yatra is scheduled to commence from 28th June, 2018. As

such every department associated with the Yatra shall have to be in position alongwith men &

material before two weeks from the date of commencement of Yatra. All the civil officers

associated with the Yatra shall directly liaise with Deputy Commissioner/Yatra Officer in case of

any emergency for taking up any work of emergent nature. All the heads of the departments shall

share the information with regard to the arrangements made in connection with the smooth

conduct of Yatra. The Yatra period synchronizes with Monsoon season and as such susceptible

to flash flood, cloud burst, torrential rains and hailstorm followed by landslides especially in the

area between out skirts of Sonamarg to Holy Cave. The road from Ganderbal to Baltal is

accident prone due to narrow roads besides natural disasters and beyond Baltal to Holy Cave; the

track is difficult and mountainous, passes over heights ranging from 8000 feet to 14600 feet.

Though widening of the track with reasonable repair works is the common feature but still the

track is comparatively narrow. The Yatries have to cover distance of 14 Kms. on foot or on

http://indianexpress.com/about/yatra/

5 | P a g e

horseback. No built up accommodation is available along the track beyond Baltal barring a few

labour sheds/pre-fabricated huts which are usually occupied by the government employees and

the Yatries are provided tented accommodation. The terrain and topography of the Yatra route is

inhospitable and unpredictable mode of weather has always to be kept in mind. The temperature

generally dips down in cloudy weather.

The scale of Yatra has gone up steadily during the last 12 years. This year more than

seven lac Yatries are expected to visit the shrine from Baltal route. The altitude of various

stations enroute and distance between different stations is given as under:

S.No Station Altitude(Feets)

1. Avalanche/Cloud Burst/ Flash floods/Heavy Snowfall:-

i) The weather on the Yatra route changes frequently and can change suddenly from bright sunny

to heavy rain / snowfall, particularly in afternoon. Due to high intensity sustained rainfall or

snowfall over a longer period, there is a likelihood of Avalanche, Cloud Burst, Flash floods,

Heavy snow on the tracks especially in the upper reaches of the yatra area. The more vulnerable

stretches for cloud burst, heavy rain, flash floods and heavy snow are Holy Cave, and Sangam.

The nalah at the Holy Cave area is most vulnerable to flash floods given the topography of the

area. The potential threat to loss to human life and property is highest in this area, because the

area nearby the nalah remains crowded with Yatries and other service management providers

during the entire Yatra period.

ii) Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) shall install Automatic Weather Stations at Baltal,

Brarimarg and Holy Cave and also Weather Display Boards at Baltal to apprise the Yatris about

the impending weather.

iii) IMD shall provide advance warning of snowfall and rainfall in the Yatra area to District

Disaster Management Control Room concerned. The Indian Meteorological Department shall

also provide regular weather forecasts and SMS service to CEO SASB, Divisional

Plan. The District Disaster Management Authority shall, in consultation with District Police and

CEO, SASB, shall take steps to regulate the Yatra whenever the weather in the Yatra area is

inclement and when early warning in this regard is received from IMD. The necessary

infrastructures at Transit Camps & additional Disaster Management Centres have already been

identified.

vi) Yatra Officer, Ganderbal, shall monitor that the Yatra Magistrate (Camp Officer) at Holy

Cave ensures that the Langars/ Tents are pitched at safe distance from the nallah in the Holy

Cave Area.

vii) Tourism Department shall provide Shelter Sheds at regular distances along the Yatra tracks

where the Yatris can take Shelter during times of incessant rains/ snow/ storms. Tourism

viii) under any circumstances, so that these structures are available to the Yatris to take shelter

during emergencies or for Rescue and Relief operations during disaster(s}.

x) To deal with any drowning incident, J&K Police shall deploy the divers and boats for quick

rescue operations/ fishing out of dead bodies at the vulnerable places on Yatra route, particularly

at Base Camp of Baltaland Sangam.

2. Shooting stones/ landslides.

i) The yatra area is located in fragile, young Himalayan Mountains, an area with porous soil and

loose soil, which is prone to landslides and shooting stones, particularly after heavy rains. On the

basis of steepness of the uphill slopes, the more vulnerable stretches for shooting stones and

landslides are tracks from Kangan to Gund, and Holy Cave area.

ii)J&K Police/SDRF/CRPF/ shall deploy Mountain Rescue Teams (MRTs)/police personnel

each in the Yatra area at Baltal,Domail, Brarimarg, Sangam and Holy Cave to early spot signs of

landslides and alert the Joint Control Rooms.

iii) The Joint Control Rooms shall coordinate with other Security Forces and stop the Yatra

immediately whenever landslides are reported or when there is unusual activity of shooting

stones or when there are incessant rains in the areas vulnerable to shooting stones /Landslides.

iv)The Sonamarg Development Authority in addition to R&B Department of J&K Govt. shall

ensure that suitable engineering measures like breast walls, proper drainage structures/outlets, etc

are provided when they widen / upgrade the Yatra tracks, so as to reduce the chances of shooting

stones/ landslides.

v) CEO, SASB and CEO, SDA shall ensure that signage’s / display boards are installed, warning

the Yatris to be alert in the area vulnerable to shooting stones.

3. Fire incidents:

i) In order to avoid any fire outbreak in the camps, especially in the tented accommodation

zones, the deployed employees of the F & ES department shall scrutinize the applications and

verify the quality of tents as per the procedure laid down and guidelines revised from time to

time. Moreover, the concerned Camp Officers, Camp Directors, and officials from Police

Department shall visit the camp locations in advance in order to ensure proper fire gap in the

tented accommodation.

iii) The constituted teams will intimate the applicants well in advance of their visit to the

area/village for conducting inspection of tents and will ensure proper check regarding quality &

specification as advised and will put in the seal and signature as a token for suitability of tents for

Yatra usage. The teams shall complete the whole task before the commencement of Yatra

positively.

iv) Moreover, Fire and Emergency department has already been directed to take necessary fire

preventing measures by way of deployment of firefighting equipment and to formulate a

calendar for deployment of officers/officials at various camp locations. The plan submitted by

the Fire and Emergency Services Department is as under:-

8 | P a g e

Fire Protection measures:- For efficient fire protection enroute from Jawahar Tunnel to Holy

Cave there are already existing six Fire and emergency Stations equipped with Fire Tenders ,

Fire Engines, fire Crews and other accessories to cope up with any untoward incident efficiently.

Fire Preventive measures:- The safety of Public and property cannot be taken for granted by

having well equipped FIRE Tenders and well trained crews available. The most important aspect

we can rely upon is that how much fire preventive measures have been adopted by the owners of

hotels, Lodges, Camping agencies, Combustible/Hazardous material storages and Tent owners.

Itis important to mention here that it has been mandatory on part of the concerned agencies to

install certain first-Aid firefighting equipments to ensure the safety of life and property of the

yatries. For providing fool proof safety measures the other Govt. Departments and concerned

agencies have to Co-operate with this department in the following way:-

1. Tent Owners have to install atleast one Fire Extinguisher in each tent as prescribed in the

permission form.

2. Fire Gaps and Passage Routes have to be maintained as per the instructions given in the

Permission forms and maps.

3. For checking the quality of tents and keeping the suitable fire gaps between the tents, the

pitching of tents has to be done in presence of a fire officer.

4. The combustible materials and inflammable liquids have to be stored at segregated places

atleast 12 feet from the camping area.

5. The fire officer will regularly check the camping area and submit a report to their Command

Officer after every 15 days for onward submission to Yatra Officer.

10 | P a g e

6. Atleast five days before beginning of Yatra the Fire officer will give instructions to the

concerned tent owners at all the camping areas to make them know DO's and DONT's so that the

safety of camping area can be maintained.

7. Assistant Director F,CS and CA is requested to store the LPG cylinders and K-Oil at

segregated places and himself arrange for safety equipments to be installed there.

8. Helicopter services and Langer wallas will make their own safety arrangements at the helipads

and respective langars. However, this department will render full support in case an emergency

arrives for which one fire post at each helipad will be established. The map provided by Yatra

Officer with regard to the safety measures to be adopted in the tented area will be implemented

in letter and spirit.

v) The State Fire and Emergency Services Department has been directed to periodically inspect

whether LOs have adhered to fire safety measures and made adequate arrangements for

firefighting and submit weekly reports in this regard to the Deputy Commissioner Ganderbal.

Action by: Deputy Director Fire and Emergency Service Ganderbal.

vi)EveryLangar Organization shall maintain an updated list of inflammable material like

Kerosene oil, Ghee, LPG cylinders, etc., being stored at its Langar site. Every Langar

Organization shall install adequate fire-fighting equipment viz 3 Soda acid type fire

extinguishers of 9 litres each and 3 foam fibre (FB 2) type extinguishers of 9 litres each at site

before commencing their cooking activities. Every Langar Organization shall have to obtain an

NoC from the Fire and Emergency Services Department, J&K, to the effect it possesses Fire

Fighting Equipment as mentioned in this para and has also taken adequate measures to ensure

preparedness for fire safety. The CEO, SASB, shall ensure that the Terms and Conditions of

Langar Permissions are accordingly modified.

vii) J&K Police will ensure that no Yatri is allowed to carry any kind of inflammable material

with him/her beyond the Access Control Gate at Baltal and inside Camps.

viii) CAPD shall ensure that LPG, kerosene and other such inflammable materials are stored at

least 500 meters away from tents pitched for Yatris/ Service Providers/ Langars,

ix) J&K Police shall ensure that no Yatris carries/ smokes cigarettes! bidis/ hookas / chillum on

the Yatra track, Langars / Shelter sheds and Camps.

4. Stampede:

Having consideration of narrow passage of Yatra route at various places and due to huge rush of

Yatries, apprehension of stampede cannot be ruled out. The necessary measures to avoid

stampede have already been outlined as under:-

i) Access Control Gate at Baltal with 8 lane facility for incoming yatries has been completed.

Necessary barricading with sufficient police personnel shall be made available well before the

commencement of Yatra.

ii) J&K Police shall ensure strict enforcement of Access Control Measures at Baltal to ensure

that only registered Yatris having Yatra Permits for that day are allowed to cross the Access

Control Gates.

11 | P a g e

Action by J&K Police

iii) The Police shall ensure that no unregistered Yatri is able to enter the Base Camps

Baltal&Manigam as this may lead to huge rush at Base Camps, which in turn can cause

stampede.

iv) J&K Police shall ensure that Yatris are released in batches, staggered over a time period,

from Base Camp of Baltal so as to avoid over-crowding on the track.

v) J&K Police and other security Forces shall ensure that darshans at the Holy Cave are regulated

in such a manner that there is no stoppage of Yatris in front or near the Holy Cave, particularly

when VIPs visit the Holy Cave.

vi) CEO, SDA has been directed to provide railings along the track, wherever necessary so that

Yatris do not get killed/injured due to fall from edges of the tracks down the steep slopes during

stampede or otherwise.

vii) To enable senior-most officials to monitor, in real-time, whether Yatra is being effectively

regulated or not at the Access Control Gate, CEO, SASB, shall explore the possibility of:

(a) installing CCTVs (which show the time as well as number of Yatris who cross the Access

Control Gate in a given time) at Access Control Gate at Baltal;

(b) linking these CCTVs via Internet with Control Rooms at Srinagar/Ganderbal.

viii) Information Department J&K, shall ensure the installation of effective Public Address

System at each Camp location in the Yatra area and at Access Control Gate at Baltal, to make

important announcement for the Yatris so that no scope is left for rumours to spread and

necessary instructions could be given to Yatris in regular intervals.

5. Earthquake

i) The Yatra area falls in Zone V as per the Earthquake Hazard Zoning Map of India. This zone

has been rated as 'High Damage Risk Zone. As the Yatris and other Service Providers mostly

stay in tents, the potential of damage to human life and property due to collapse of few pucca

structures in the Yatra area is limited. However, the earthquake may trigger stampede, fire, flash

floods, avalanches, landslides, and shooting stones, which may cause extensive loss. In this

context, all the Yatra Camps enroute to Holy Cave are vulnerable.

ii) As the earthquake may trigger fires, avalanche, flash floods, stampede, landslides, and

shooting stones, which may cause extensive loss, the steps to be taken by various agencies as

mentioned above (1-4) need to be followed.

iii) During Earthquake first and foremost job of the District Administration shall be to evacuate

the yatries/employees/security forces immediately to safe places where adequate medical

facilities are available.

iv) Adequate number of choppers shall be requisitioned by District Administration and all

Security forces nearby shall be informed immediately for giving assistance in respect with men

and material whatever is available at that point of time.

12 | P a g e

vii) The Electric Department has been directed to make immediate lighting arrangements

including making available Genset facility at the identified camp locations.

viii) The PHE Department has also been directed to make necessary arrangements of drinking

water supply by way of installing storage tanks, water points as well as through tanker service.

ix) R&B Department has been asked to create adequate number of DTLs on the basis of

requirement.

x) The concerned nearest Municipal Committee to deploy adequate staff for cleanliness of the

area of identified camp.

xi) The Health department shall move Medical team’s alongwith adequate quantity of life saving

drugs/Ambulances.

xii) The Fire Services department to shift fire fighting equipments to the identified camp.

xiii) The services of Hotelwallas alongwith men and material of the District Ganderbal can be

utilized for provision of cooked food for the victims/yatries at the identified places by Deputy

Commissioner Ganderbal.

Post Disaster Response:

i) In the event of disaster of any kind, evacuation and rescue operations shall be launched

immediately by the Camp Yatra Officer concerned in coordination with all other agencies

located in the Camp area. A Committee headed by Camp Yatra Officer and comprising Camp

Yatra Officer (Police), Camp Director (SASB), senior-most doctor in the Camp concerned, and

senior-most officer each from Army and other Para-military Forces stationed in the Camp, shall

Incident commander

Operations Section

Planning Section

Logistics Section

Finance/Administration Section

Safety Officer

Liaison Officer

Information Officer

The ICS will comprise of two broad components, viz. Incident Response and System

Institutionalization. Incident Response will involve three elements:

(a) Coordination,

(b) Incident Command Team (ICT) and

(c) Specialized Tactical Resources.

The Coordination element will have the Headquarters Teams at the District levels. The Incident

Command teams will be responsible for on scene management and formed at the district levels

as explained in the next section.

COMMAND, CONTROL AND COMMUNICATION:

i) Joint Police Control Room (JPCR) shall be setup at Base Camp Baltal. JPCR shall be

responsible for directing and coordinating the disaster response during emergencies. State

Disaster Response Force (SDRF) shall be requisitioned well in advance and stationed at Holy

Cave, Baltal, and Brarimarg. .
