Superintendent Under Scrutiny for Escalating Tensions
Bhopal: The Madhya Pradesh health authorities have expanded the list of centres authorised to issue the mandatory health fitness certificate for the annual Amarnath Yatra, with six doctors from Chirayu Medical College now designated to provide the certification.
Alongside JP Hospital, pilgrims in Bhopal can now obtain the required certificate from Chirayu Medical College, a move expected to ease the certification process and reduce pressure on government healthcare facilities.
The annual Amarnath Yatra, a significant pilgrimage for devotees of Lord Shiva, will commence on July 3, 2025, and conclude on August 9, 2025, as per the official announcement by the Amarnath Shrine Board.
