Uncertainty over Amarnath yatra as SASB release announcing decision to cancel pilgrimage withdrawn

JAMMU: Within minutes of Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB) announcing cancellation of the Amarnath Yatra due to coronavirus pandemic, the Jammu and Kashmir administration on Wednesday said the press note was “cancelled and withdrawn”.

             However, nothing else was said, giving rise to uncertainty over the 42-day-long yatra which was scheduled to commence from the twin tracks of Pahalgam in Anantnag district and Baltal in Ganderbal district on June 23. (AGENCIES)
