AMARNATH YATRA CANCELLED ANOTHER YEAR DUE TO THE COVID PANDEMIC

Owing to the high rising cases of Covid-19 and the severity of the pandemic, the J&K administration has decided to keep the Amarnath Yatra symbolic, for another year straight. 

 

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha made this announcement after discussions with members of the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board and other officials. He also initiated making arrangements so that devotees can virtually attend the morning and evening aartis’ at the Himalayan shrine. 

 

This alternative would allow them to pay homage while avoiding travel and exposing themselves to infection in the outer surroundings.
