Things Before Takeover
The Management of the Holy Cave Shrine before its take over by the
Shrine Board, vested with Dharamarth Trust and the Baridars.
They were responsible for collection and distribution of offerings

and management of the Shrine.
While the offerings were collected by vested interests, the onus of

all developmental activities- even basic amenities lay with the
government.
Hence acute mismanagement, lack of accountability and no

amenities for the yatries.

Shrine

Takeover

1986 under The Jammu and Kashmir

Jammu and Kashmir Shri Jagmohan on

Secondly, to even out the Yatra trend which as of now shows
curves depicting sharp seasonal variations.
Smoothening out of Yatra trend, if technically feasible, strongly
needed to ensure better utilization of infrastructure developed
by the Board.
Fool proof Advance Yatra Registration facility could be good
tool in this direction to help better plan the pilgrimage to the
devotees.
