Amarnath Yatra Cancelled Due To Covid And Security Concern

Amarnath Yatra Cancelled Due To Covid And Security Concern

This year seems like festivals and yatra won’t be able to celebrate in the bid of a spike of COVID-19. The Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SABS) decided to cancel the annual Amarnath Yatra due o the rising spike of the Coronavirus pandemic. 

Every year hundreds of thousands of Hindu and other devotees make an annual pilgrimage to the Amarnath cave across challenging mountainous terrain. But as over 1.19 million people across India are already affected and more than 14,600 people from Jammu & Kashmir are infected so the Lieutenant-governor of J&K, Girish Chandra Murmu decided to cancel this annual pilgrimage at the 39th Meeting of SABS via Video conference. 

Shri Amarnathji Yatra

According to the officials this year’s ‘Shri Amarnathji Yatra’ won’t be possible and with the current critical situation, it won’t be advisable also. As the board didn’t want to hurt the religious sentiments of the devotees so a live telecast/virtual darshan of the morning and evening aarti will be arranged. Further, the traditional rituals shall be carried out as per past practice. Also, the Charri Mubarak shall be facilitated by the government. 

The meeting was also attended by chief secretary BVR Subrahmanyam, SABS’s CEO Bipul Pathak, and other senior officers of the board. Since the national lockdown, the J&K has kept the religious places closed for the public in March.

The local authorities can’t afford this yatra as it will b very risky and the spread of the virus can affect a major number of people. Even the tension between the LAC in Ladakh is another reason for cancellation. Every year, over 40,000 personnel of the J&K Police, Army and paramilitary forces are deployed to secure the route to the cave shrine.

Earlier on 13th July, a hearing petition seeking for cancellation of the Yatra was taken Supreme Court which was later handed over to the local administration. Last year, the yatris and tourists were asked to immediately leave J&K by the then-state’s government due to the militant/terror threats.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
