But we pray to Bhole Shankar (lord Shiva) to be kind and listen to our collective yearning so that the next time these pilgrims come, we welcome them not in a UT, but in a full-fledged state,\u201d the deputy chief minister told reporters.<br \/>\nChoudhary said there was some delay in the departure of the pilgrims as the Lt Governor had organised a special puja for the pilgrims\u2019 safety.<br \/>\n\u201cThis is what we have heard and we are also praying to Bhole Nath that the wishes of the people of J&amp;K and the pilgrims coming from within and outside the country should be fulfilled,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cThere is a festival\u2026we are standing in Banal, where Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs have come together to welcome the pilgrims. This is the beauty of Jammu and Kashmir, its brotherhood and hospitality,\u201d Choudhary added.<br \/>\nThe minister said the security forces and civil administration are on the job to ensure a smooth yatra.<br \/>\n\u201cLt Governor is looking at the security aspect of the yatra, but the rest of the arrangements, like water and electricity, are in the hands of the Jammu and Kashmir government, and there will be no carelessness,\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cThe yatra will be successful and peaceful,\u201d he said, adding, the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the country are brave and not scared of bullets and bombs.<br \/>\n\u201cJ&amp;K is a border state, and we have always stood for our country, standing behind our soldiers. I am here to give a message to the people that Jammu and Kashmir is as beautiful and safe as any other region in the country. We stand with our countrymen and they should feel at home in J&amp;K,\u201d Choudhary said.<br \/>\nAsked about certain restrictions put in place on the movement of the people during the movement of the pilgrim convoy from Jammu to Kashmir, the deputy chief minister said he will take up the issue with the chief minister and try to find a solution.<br \/>\n\u201cWe do not want anyone to face problems. There are sick, there are students who have to go to their schools and colleges, people need to move between Jammu and Srinagar,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30405\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30405\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-30405\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DYCM-300x195.jpg\" alt=\"\u2018We Hope To Welcome Amarnath Yatris To Full State Next Time,\u2019 Says J&amp;K Deputy CM\" width=\"300\" height=\"195\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30405\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u2018We Hope To Welcome Amarnath Yatris To Full State Next Time,\u2019 Says J&amp;K Deputy CM<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Banihal\/Jammu, Jul 2: Jammu and Kashmir Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary on Wednesday said the National Conference-led government hopes to greet the Amarnath yatris in a full-fledged state next time.
