The J&K administration has introduced a ‘pony ambulance‘ service to provide critical healthcare support to the Amarnath Yatra pilgrims.
An official spokesperson said the pony ambulances – horse-mounted emergency response system equipped with medical kits and oxygen cylinders – will accompany pilgrims along both the Baltal and Pahalgam axis. He added that trained personnel handle the pony ambulances, which swiftly respond to any health issues faced by yatris.
