Bowing to pressure of agitationists, Jammu and Kashmir governor N N Vohra on Friday re-assigned the task of organising the annual Amarnath Yatra to the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board, which is likely to be re-constituted soon.
The decision comes against the backdrop of a marked deterioration in the situation in Jammu , where the agitation launched under the aegis of Shri Amarnath Suraksha Samiti for the restoration of 100 acres to SASB shows no sign of dying down.
The outrage among the majority community over the governmentâs decision to cancel the land-transfer order showed up yet again in Jammu on Friday, where angry SASS protesters forced National Conference patron Farooq Abdullah and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti to remain holed up in the Jammu airport.
They had to be airlifted by a special chopper to the Raj Bhawan, which was subsequently gheraoed by SASS activists. Effigies of the two leaders, as also of NC chief Omar Abdullah , were burnt at several places, making it clear that the agitationists held the two J&K parties the main villain in the piece.
