Jammu, Feb 28: Hoteliers today appealed to Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra to review the decision to curtail the duration of the annual Amarnath pilgrimage this year from two months to 39 days.
The Shri Amarnath Shrine Board has taken the decision to shorten the duration of the annual pilgrimage this year from two months to 39 days. "We appeal to the Governor, who is also SASB chairman, to review the decision," President of the All Jammu Hotels and Lodges Association (AJHLA) Inderjeet Khaju-ria told reporters here. "A large number of people earn their living from the Yatra and it proves a boom for traders in Jammu," he said.
"Over the years the number of pilgrims undertaking the Yatra is increasing every year and last year about six lakh had visited the shrine. "In view of ever-increasing rush, the duration of Yatra should have been extended," he said. |
