DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SHRI

AMARNATH JI YATRA, 2016

INTRODUCTION:-

This year, Sh. Amar Nath Ji Yatra is scheduled to commence from 2nd

July, 2016. As such every department associated with the Yatra shall have

to be in position alongwith men & material before two weeks from the date

of commencement of Yatra. The last Darshan will be on 18th of August,

2016. All the civil officers associated with the Yatra shall directly liaise

with Deputy Commissioner/Yatra Officer in case of any emergency for

taking up any work of emergent nature. All the heads of the departments

shall share the information with regard to the arrangements made in

connection with the smooth conduct of Yatra. The Yatra period

synchronizes with Moonsoon season and as such susceptible to flash flood,

cloud burst, torrential rains and hailstorm followed by land slides especially

in the area between out skirts of Pahalgam to Holy Cave. The road from

Pahalgam to Chandanwari is slide prone and beyond Chandanwari to Holy

Cave, the track is difficult and mountainous, passes over heights ranging

from 8000 feet to 14600 feet. Though widening of the track with reasonable

repair works is the common feature but still the track is comparatively

narrow. The Yatries have to cover distance of 49 Kms. on foot or on horse

back. No built up accommodation is available along the track beyond

Chandanwari barring a few labour sheds/pre-fabricated huts which are

usually occupied by the government employees and the Yatries are

provided tented accommodation. The terrain and topography of the Yatra

route is inhospitable and unpredictable mode of weather has always to be

kept in mind. The temperature generally dips down in cloudy weather. In

the year 1996, more than 200 pilgrims lost their lives due to heavy rains and

flash floods. Moreover, the law and order scenario in the District is not fully

normal & the militants can go to any extent to disrupt the Yatra. The scale

of Yatra has gone up steadily during the last 12 years. This year more than

seven lac Yatries are expected to visit the shrine from Pahalgam route. The

is given as under.

1. Avalanche/Cloud Burst/ Flash floods/Heavy Snowfall:-

i) The weather on the Yatra route changes frequently and can

change suddenly from bright sunny to heavy rain / snowfall,

particularly in afternoon. Due to high intensity sustained

rainfall or snowfall over a longer period, there is a likelihood of

Avalanche, Cloud Burst , Flash floods , Heavy snow on the

tracks especially in the upper reaches of the yatra area. The

more vulnerable stretches for cloud burst , heavy rain , flash

floods and heavy snow are Panjtarni , Sheshnag , Holy Cave ,

MG Top , Wavbal Top, Poshpatri and Sangam. The nalah at the

Holy Cave area is most vulnerable to flash floods given the

topography of the area. The potential threat to loss to human

life and property is highest in this area, because the area nearby

the nalah remains crowded with Yatries and other service

management providers during the entire Yatra period.

2. Shooting stones/ land slides.

i) The yatra area is located in fragile , young Himalayan

mountains , an area with porous soil and loose soil, which is

prone to land slides and shooting stones , particularly after

heavy rains. On the basis of steepness of the uphill slopes, the

more vulnerable stretches for shooting stones and landslides are

iv) Moreover, Fire and Emergency department has already been

directed to take necessary fire preventing measures by way of

deployment of firefighting equipment and to formulate a calendar for

deployment of officers/officials at various camp locations. The plan

submitted by the Fire and Emergency Services Department is as under:-

A. Fire Protection measures:- for efficient fire protection en-route from

Jawahar Tunnel to Holy Cave there are already existing seven permanent

Fire and emergency Stations equipped with Fire Tenders , Fire Engines , fire

Crews and other accessories to cope up with any untoward incident

efficiently. The Jumbo Water Tenders Commissioned at each station has a

B. Fire Preventive measures:- The safety of Public and property

cannot be taken for granted by having well equipped FIRE Tenders and well

trained crews available. The most important aspect we can rely upon is that

how much fire preventive measures have been adopted by the owners of

hotels , Lodges, Camping agencies , Combustible / Hazardous material

storages and Tent owners. I would like to mention here that it has been

mandatory on part of the concerned agencies to install certain Ist-Aid fire

fighting equipments to ensure the safety of life and property of the yatries.

For providing fool proof safety measures the other Govt. Departments and

concerned agencies have to Co-operate with this department in the following

way:-

1. Tent Owners have to install atleast one Fire Extinguisher in each tent

as prescribed in the permission form.

2. Fire Gaps and Passage Routes have to be maintained as per the

instructions given in the Permission forms and maps.

3. For checking the quality of tents and keeping the suitable fire gaps

between the tents , the pitching of tents has to be done in presence of a

fire officer.

4. The combustible materials and inflammable liquids have to be stored

at segregated places atleast 12 feet from the camping area.

5. The fire officer will regularly check the camping area and submit a

report to their Command Officer after every 15 days for onward

submission to Yatra Officer.

6. Atleast five days before begining of Yatra the Fire officer will give

instructions to the concerned tent owners at all the camping areas to

make them know DO's and DONT's so that the safety of camping area

can be maintained.

7. Assistant Director CAPD is requested to store the LPG cylinders and

K-Oil at segregated places and himself arrange for safety equipments

to be installed there.

8. Helicopter services and Langer wallas will make their own safety

arrangements at the helipads and respective langars. However , this

department will render full support in case an emergency arrives for

which one fire post at each helipad will be established.

The map provided by Yatra Officer with regard to the safety measures

to be adopted in the tented area will be implemented in letter and

spirit.

bidis/ hookas / chillum on the Yatra track, Langars / Shelter sheds

and Camps

[Action by J&K Police]

14

4. Stampede:

Having consideration of narrow passage of Yatra route at various places

and due to huge rush of Yatries, apprehension of stampede cannot be

ruled out. The necessary measures to avoid stampede have already been

outlined as under:-

i) Access Control Gate at Chandanwari with 8 lane facility for

incoming yatries has been completed. Necessary barricading with

sufficient police personnel shall be made available well before the

commencement of Yatra.

Yatra is being effectively regulated or not at the Access Control Gate,

CEO, SASB, shall explore the possibility of: (i) installing CCTVs

(which show the time as well as number of Yatris who cross the Access

Control Gate in a given time) at Access Control Gate at Chandanwari;

(ii) linking these CCTVs via Internet with Control Rooms at

Srinagar/Anantnag.

Action by CEO, SASB/ J&K Police by 15th June, 2016

ix) Information Department J&K, shall ensure the installation of

effective Public Address System at each Camp location in the

Yatra area and at Access Control Gate at Chandanwari, to make

important announcement for the Yatris so that no scope is left for

rumours to spread and necessary instructions could be given to

Yatris in regular intervals.

Action by;

Director, Information, J&K/ District information Officer,

Anantnag.

16

5. Earthquake

i) The Yatra area falls in Zone IV as per the Earthquake Hazard

Zoning Map of India. This zone has been rated as 'High Damage

Risk Zone . As the Yatris and other Service Providers mostly stay

in tents, the potential of damage to human life and property due to

collapse of few pucca structures in the Yatra area is limited.

However, the earthquake may trigger stampede, fire, flash floods,

avalanches, landslides, and shooting stones, which may cause

extensive loss. In this context, all the Yatra Camps enroute to Holy

Cave are vulnerable.

ii) As the earthquake may trigger fires, avalanche, flash floods, stampede, landslides, and shooting stones, which may cause extensive loss, the steps to be taken by various agencies as mentioned above (1-4) need to be followed.

iii) During earthquake first and foremost job of the District Administration shall be to evacuate the yatries/employees/security forces immediately to safe places where adequate medical facilities are available. (List of the Medical facilities available is enclosed at Annexure-A)

iv) Adequate number of choppers shall be requisitioned by District Administration and all Security forces nearby shall be informed immediately for giving assistance in respect with men and material whatever is available at that point of time.

v) Immediate alarm to all Hospital and Medical staff with a provision to relocate the employees as per requirement by all available means possible. Adequate medical material shall be moved to Rescue/relief camp.

vi) Food and Supplies Department shall immediately rush essential commodities to the identified rescue/relief camps. List of Disaster Management Centres is enclosed at annexure-B.

vii) The Electric Department has been directed to make immediate lighting arrangements including making available Genset facility at the identified camp locations.

xiii) The services of Hotelwalls alongwith men and material of the District Anantnag can be utilized for provision of cooked food for the victims/yatries at the identified places by Deputy Commissioner Anantnag.

18

6. Terrorist Attacks

i) Considering the security scenario, topography of the Yatra area,

high potential of terrorist attacks on the Yatris to create Law and

Order situation throughout the State and the country, sensitive

nature of the Yatra, and the high publicity the Yatra generates, the

entire Yatra area is highly prone to terrorist attacks.

ii) In the past there have been incidents relating to militant activities.

In year 2000, an incident of firing at Yatra camp Pahalgam

resulted in loss of 35 precious lives and 18 persons were injured

and in the year 2001, there was a militant attack at Sheshnag in

which 13 precious lives were lost(Police=3, Civilians=4, Yatri=6).

On 06 August 2002 at about 0515 hours there was a grenade blast

followed by indiscriminate Small Arms fire from outside the inner

perimeter fence, on the North East side of Nunwan Yatri Camp.

The incident took place at the time when there was lot of

movement of yatris in the toilets area. After the grenade blast, the

fire continued for approximately 10-15 minutes, causing casualties

to the yatris in the vicinity of toilet and also in the tents. The

terrorist fire resulted into nine civilian killed and 29 injured. Thus

there is apprehension of militants strike this year also. Though, no

specific intelligence on militant threat is available so far, yet

keeping in view the presence of militants in various remote areas

of Anantnag and adjoining areas of Doda district, the possibility of

attack can not be ruled out. These are some notable factors which

could lead to some kind of incidents to attract international

attention. This can have repercussion, too.

iii) The possibility of the following type of terrorist activities could not

be ruled out:

a) Incidents of IED blast, Fidayeen attack on Yatra

convoy between Jawahar Tunnel and Qazigund;

Qazigund Khanabal and Khanabal to Pahalgam and

onwards up to the Holy Cave.

b) Fidayeen attack on camps

c) Abduction of Yatries travelling enroute.

19

d) Attack on Chadi Mubarak

e) Sacrilege of some religious places.

f) Any other incident related to the militancy/sabotage.

iv) Army, Police and other Security Forces shall take action as per

their departmental SoPs in the matter. Directions/ inputs received in

this regard from intelligence agencies and Unified HQ should be

promptly shared with other Security Forces/ intelligence agencies

and necessary action should be initiated to prevent any mishap.

Action by: All Security Agencies

v) Besides adequate deployment of Security Forces at the Yatra

Camps, and at other strategic locations along the Yatra tracks,
