The Trust has appealed the Government for the security arrangements at the Shrine.
Under the instructions of the Chairman Trustee, Dr Karan Singh, the concerned authorities provided necessary arrangements
with regard to drinking water, electricity and transport facilities, besides Additional Secretary of the Trust deputed a Srinagar Office Trust employee for guidance of the yatris.
The Trust expressed gratitude for the support and co-operation of local Administration on the occasion.
Meanwhile, the local and surrounding Muslim population of Khrew has welcomed Kashmiri Pandit brothern at the Shrine.
However, the Trust has also expressed strong objections for certain forcible interventions into the shrine and Trust Temple affairs by some unrecognized Jammu based Kashmiri Pandits who unfortunately make a single day presence on the occasion, collect donations and return back to Jammu.
The J&K Dharmarth Trust will not allow any further such interventions into its management affairs in future.
