Early Times Report
JAMMU, Apr 18: Baba Amarnath and Baba Buda Amarnath Yatri Niyas has decided to hold protest demonstration outside Governor House in Jammu on April 20 against the curtailment of annual Holy Amarnath Yatra.
Announcing this in a press conference here today, Surinder Mohan Aggarwal, president of the Niyas said the representatives of Niyas and its associate member organizations shall assemble at Mubarak Mandi complex on April 20, 2011 and thereafter march towards Raj Bhawan in the form of procession to submit collected signatures to Governor and Chairman SASB N N Vohra with an appeal to reconsider the decision of curtailing Yatra.
"We genuinely feel that the decision of SASB is unjustified, by which they have announced the commencement date of Shri Amarnath Yatra from June 29 and reduced the duration of this Yatra to 45 days", he mentioned, adding that Niyas has mobilized the public opinion by organizing signature campaign on from April 12-18 and has got reasonable response.
Aggarwal appealed people of Jammu and the representatives of all those organizations who support this cause to join in this protest on as SASB has tried to impose the decision of reducing the duration of this yatra while ignoring the sentiments of devotees and the fact that the Yatra was going on uninterruptedly and smoothly for the last several years. Those who were preset included Mahant Shri Ram Sawroop Das, Jagdish Dogar, VK Gupta and others.
