Amarnath Yatra 2025: Approved Medical Officers in Tamil Nadu for Compulsory Health Certificate
If you’re from Tamil Nadu and preparing for the spiritually significant Shri Amarnathji Yatra 2025, don’t forget the most crucial step: obtaining your Compulsory Health Certificate (CHC). This certificate ensures that you’re medically fit to take on the physically demanding journey to the holy Amarnath Cave, located at an altitude of over 13,000 feet in Jammu & Kashmir.
To make the process easy for yatris in Tamil Nadu, the state’s Health and Family Welfare Department has appointed government medical colleges and resident medical officers across the state to issue CHCs in the format prescribed by the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB).
