J-K: LG Manoj Sinha lays foundation stone of new Amarnath Yatri Niwas

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday laid the foundation stone of the new Amarnath Yatri Niwas and Disaster Management Centre at Majeen area in outskirts of Jammu city.

Speaking to the media, Lieutenant Governor said for the past seven to eight-month the Jammu and Kashmir administrations have been trying to facilitate the devotees who come here for Amarnath Yatra.

Due to some reason, there wasn't a place for devotees in the Amarnath shrine so it was decided to construct this Niwas.

"We will try our best and hope the project will be complete in one and half years," Sinha said.

The Lieutenant Governor further said, "I believe this will create an environment for all devotes across the country."

"We have also considered the difficulties faced by devotees in the trip and therefore the facilities have been arranged in travel routes also," he said.
