Amarnath Yatra 2024 began on June 29 and will run until August 19, allowing pilgrims to visit Baba Barfani of Shri Amarnath Ji during this period. To support the pilgrims, state-run telecom company BSNL has introduced a special travel SIM card to help users stay in touch with their families during the pilgrimage. The telecom company has assured uninterrupted network coverage throughout the Amarnath Ji pilgrimage.
BSNL Yatra Sim Is Priced At Rs 196
BSNL Yatra SIM, priced at Rs 196, provides users with a 4G SIM card that is valid for 10 days and offers unlimited voice and data benefits. To get the travel SIM card, individuals need to present their Aadhar card or another form of ID for KYC (Know Your Customer) verification along with the Shri Amarnath Yatra slip. Once these requirements are met, passengers will receive an active BSNL SIM card, enabling voice calling and data services for 10 days along the Yatra route at locations such as Lakhanpur, Bhagwati Nagar, Chandrakot, Pahalgam, Baltal, and other key areas in Jammu and Kashmir.
