New Delhi: Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah praised the outstanding efforts of security forces, the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board, the Jammu and Kashmir administration, and volunteer groups. They all worked to ensure that the Shri Amarnathji Yatra this year was conducted safely and efficiently. In a post on the social media platform X, Shri Shah shared that more than 4.14 lakh devotees visited Shri Amarnathji in 2025. He described the shrine as a symbol of the enduring tradition and faith of Indian culture, where people seek the darshan of Baba Barfani.
“I congratulate all the security forces, Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board, Jammu and Kashmir administration, and volunteer groups for their help in making this pilgrimage safe and smooth. Your contributions made this holy pilgrimage successful and unique. May Baba Barfani bless everyone,” Shri Shah wrote.
The annual Shri Amarnathji Yatra is one of the most respected pilgrimages in India. It attracts devotees from across the country and abroad to the sacred cave shrine in the Himalayan ranges of Jammu and Kashmir. The journey includes steep climbs, changing weather, and tough terrain. It requires careful preparation and strong coordination among multiple agencies. This year, the safe passage of over 4.14 lakh pilgrims was made possible by solid security arrangements, organized logistics, and the voluntary service of many individuals committed to helping yatris along the route.
The Union Home Minister’s remarks highlight the central government’s gratitude for the teamwork of all involved. Their dedication ensured the successful completion of the yatra. The smooth and incident-free execution of this large religious event in 2025 shows the benefits of careful planning, constant vigilance, and a strong commitment to preserving a long-standing tradition.
