*It is truly disturbing to see how biased and irresponsible certain media platforms can be publishing one sided narratives without any real investigation or attempt to understand the full story.

#WATCH | Delhi | Director General (DG) of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), Lieutenant General Raghu Srinivasan says, "We are very fortunate and blessed as the BRO to be associated with the projects involving religious destinations in the extreme parts of our northern borders. The Amarnath Yatra, which was flagged off yesterday, has two approaches: one from Chandanwari and one from Baltal. The tracks of both these approaches were initially just three to four feet wide. We were honoured that the LG, Manoj Sinha, had tasked the Border Roads Organisation with improving the Amarnath Shrine's stretches... What has also been done is that, considering the extreme religious significance of this location, extreme care has been taken to ensure that the geological conditions are not disturbed, the equal sensitivities are maintained, and that whatever work we had to carry out was done by prudent technical means. We are very grateful that we got this task, and we are hopeful that the Amarnath yatra, with its due reverence, is completed."
