New building will be constructed in 25 kanal of land and be ready in 18 months time. This building will have capacity of 3000 people and Yatris will not have to roam around for accommodation.
Now they will be able to stay together under one roof and wait for their turn.

Youth of J&K will also get work by increasing pilgrims.
