He appreciated the services rendered by all the voluntary organizations for providing langar, medical and other essential facilities to the pilgrims during the pilgrimage.

All the arrangements including transportation, accommodation and food for the Sadhus who had accompanied Chhari-Mubarak during Swami Amarnath ji Yatra was made by ‘The True Trust' founded by Mahant Deependra Giri in the year 2004.
