| Yatra concludes, SASB website ‘misleads’ Shri Amarnath Ji devotees on darshan! | | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, Aug 27: Even as the annual Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra officially concluded on August 22 and the government made announcement in this regard, the website of the Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board continues to “offer online darshan facilities” with the devotes saying that such “goof up was misleading.”
A link on the website http://www.shriamarnathjishrine.com/ for “Live Aarti Darshan” takes the devotees to the link: “Morning Aarti by MH One 22nd August 6.00 AM. Morning Aarti by Doordarshan 22nd August 6.00 AM.”
A delegation of devotees said, “This is really shocking that the officials are so callous towards such a sensitive issue and take things related to devotion so lightly.”
They said mere access to the website was “reflective of how the administration was being run in Jammu and Kashmir.”
Experts said it was mandatory on the part of the Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board to have promptly updated the website and deactivated the services which are not supposed to be operational. “Such things are to be updated instantly but the delay exposes the working of the concerned officials,” the devotees said.
As per an official handout, the Samapan Pooja to mark the closing of the annual pilgrimage to the Holy Cave Shrine of Shri Amarnathji, on Shravan Poornima was performed on August 22 morning amid chanting of religious hymns and Mantras.
“Sh Nitishwar Kumar, Chief Executive Officer Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board and Sh Anup Kumar Soni, Additional CEO, SASB prayed for the sustained peace, harmony, progress, and prosperity in the Union Territory of J&K,” the handout said.
“Earlier this year, the annual pilgrimage of Amarnathji was canceled due to Covid-19 pandemic, but Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board carried out all traditional religious rituals at the Shri Amarnathji cave,” the handout added.
“SASB had made arrangements for the live telecast of morning and evening Aarti on TV Channels and social media in addition to facilitating Virtual Pooja, Hawan and Online Prasad booking. Around 7 to 8 Million devotees performed the free virtual darshan on Jio TV platform through live streaming on Shri Amarnathji Channel. All these steps kept the religious sentiments of the devotees alive,” the officials had said.
Still the website hasn’t been updated. Despite repeated attempts, the concerned were not available for comments. |
