In a press conference held at the party’s state office here today, Shiv Sena Jammu and Kashmir unit President, Manish Sahni said that the doors of Lord Kedarnath Dham have today opened for the next six months as per tradition following SOPs and as such there should not be any inhibition in conducting the holy Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra following the COVID protocol.

He said that the opening of Kedarnath pilgrimage having provided a ray of hope to the intending pilgrims of the holy Amarnath Yatra, he is quite sure that the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir who heads the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board will make every effort to restart the holy Amarnath Yatra thus respecting the religious sentiments of the people. On this occasion Women Wing President, Meeinakshi Chhibber and General Secretary Vikas Bakshi was also present.
