Shri Satya Pal Malik, Honorable Governor of Jammu & Kashmir and Chairman of Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board, recorded high appreciation for the coordinated efforts made by NIC Jammu & Kashmir on 28th August 2019, for the smooth conduct of this year’s Shri Amarnathji Yatra.
On the occasion, NIC Officers, Shri Abhay Kumar, SIO, Shri Baiju Ubbott, Scientist-D and Shri Sideshwar Bhagat, Scientist-B, were felicitated by the Honorable Governor for developing an online application for registration of yatris as well as yatri permit scanning and tracking using QR Code during the yatra.
Besides registration, yatris were provided with an online facility for making payment after going through a series of authentication processes, thereby enabling them to download their yatra permit with QR code. This permit was later scanned at various gates starting from Jammu to the holy cave by J&K Police and CRPF personnel. This enabled the Shrine Board Administration to track the movement of yatris, along the yatra route, using web interface.
