Govt cancels land transfer order
Yielding to the public pressure in Valley, the state government today finally cancelled its earlier order to divert 800 kanals of land to Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB). The government also decided to make land available to the tourism department from Jammu to holy cave on Pahalgam and Baltal routes for creating required infrastructure and providing logistic support for the pilgrims. The government also assured that it would not interfere in the religious affairs of Amarnath yatra.
