Satya Pal Malik, Governor of Jammu and Kashmir reviewed food and medical arrangements done for the pilgrims during Amarnath Yatra.

Srinagar (J&K): Governor of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) Satya Pal Malik visited a camp in Srinagar’s Pantha Chowk on Sunday. He reviewed food and medical arrangements done for the pilgrims during Amarnath Yatra.

While speaking to media, Satya Pal Malik said, “On myself being satisfied, it would not suffice. People should be satisfied and my review of the situation says that the people are satisfied.” “The tourism industry is not affected by security arrangements. In my region of Western Uttar Pradesh, there is no complaint against the devotees who go to temples during the pious Shravan month. Here, even if the traffic is blocked for an hour, people start complaining. People should be more tolerant,” he added.

“By and large, the devotees are happy with the arrangements put in place and with the Kashmiri people," the Governor further stated.

The Amarnath cave is considered as one of the holiest shrines for Hindus. The Amarnath Yatra is conducted every year during Shravani Mela, which starts from July and continues till August.

The holy cave remains open during this period and it attracts lakhs of pilgrims every year.
