New Delhi Feb 28, 2012. Vishwa Hindu Parishad(VHP) today submit a
memorandum to the union home minister with regard to the duration of
yatra for the year 2012. Memo signed by the VHP state president shri
Swadesh Pal Gupta & the state secretary general shri Satyendra Mohan
is also sent to the chairman Shri Amarnath Shrine Board and the state
governor shri NN Vohra. In its Memorandum, VHP demanded that looking
to the increased number of pilgrims every year, the duration of the
yatra should not be less then two months, as usual.
Releasing a copy of the memo the Media chief of VHP Delhi shri Vinod
Bansal said that further curtailing duration of yatra for the current
year 2012 (June 25 to Aug 2,2012) will not only create hurdles, to the
pilgrims but may also invite accidents due to heavy raise in number of
yatris every year. Today we approached the Union Home minister shri P
Chidambaram and submitted the memorandum demanding restoration of
yatra duration of at least two months. In our memo we said that last
year more then seven lakhs pilgrims have darshan of baba Amarnath
whereas and this year figure is expected to raise further. In these
circumstances current yatra period of 38 days may create unwanted
situations to the pilgrims, he added.
