He said that restriction cap to visit SMVD from outside the state should be removed immediately. Sahni also appealed the resumption of pony, pittu and palanquin services.

He said that these services should be restored following the Covid-19 Guide line.

Along with this, Sahni consulted CEO Ramesh Kumar on all the essential services for the traditional 38th holy Chhari Yatra to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi on the eve of Ist Navratra , Ramesh Kumar assured to provide all possible services and ensure fully support on the above demands.
