Interacting with jawans the Home Minister stressed the need for maintaining vigil to strengthen peace and normalcy in the valley to check infiltration. He also discussed the arrangements for the forthcoming Amarnath Yatra with the State Government and Security agencies. Fifty additional battalions of security forces have been deployed from Lakenpore to the cave shrine to ensure hassle free yatra for which more than two lakh yatris have already registered themselves. The Yatra will commence from the 29th of this month. Earlier, the Home Minister was forced to change his helicopter in Srinagar while flying from Pehalgam to Gurez as there was some problem with the flight parameters and pilot did not want to take any risk. Mr. Chidambaram later flew back to Delhi soon after his return from Gurez.
