The Uttarakhand Government would do well to take a leaf or two out of the books of veteran administrators like Jagmohan and Lieutenant General SK Sinha. The former, who was also a prominent Minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Government, has permanently etched a place for himself in the pilgrim folklore for extra-ordinarily upgrading facilities on the route of Vaishno Devi shrine.
The improvements made by Jagmohan increased the tourist traffic to the shrine manifold. This helped the shrine board increase income several times. Today a professionally managed board takes care of the deity and pilgrims and has remained a major source of revenue to the terrorist-hit state. The tourist traffic has also become a major source of livelihood for the poor local population of the region. http://www.dailypioneer.com/259429/Hindu...-mess.html
