Decision on Amarnath Yatra to be made after reviewing situation: LG Murmu

Jammu: J&K Lieutenant Governor, Girish Chandra Murmu, who is also the Chairman of the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB), presided over its 38th board meeting held here on Wednesday. The board expressed its apprehension and held that as on date, it may not be possible to organise the annual Amarnath Yatra this year.

Given the severeness of the Covid-2019 pandemic, an appropriate decision on the matter can be taken only after reviewing of the situation in the coming future, an official statement said.
