Mehbooba Mufti.

Claiming that the security arrangements made for the annual Amarnath yatra are causing inconvenience in the day-to-day lives of the people of Jammu & Kashmir, Peoples Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti has requested the governor, Satya Pal Malik, to intervene in the matter.

Mehbooba said, “Amarnath yatra is taking place for years. But unfortunately, the arrangements done this year are against the people of Kashmir. It’s causing a lot of trouble in the day-to-day lives of local people. I would like to request the governor to intervene in this.”

While denouncing government’s restriction on the use of Jammu-Srinagar highway by civilians during Amarnath Yatra, she added, “This Yatra signifies brotherhood. This year the arrangements are done to irk locals. They cannot use the highways, even in an emergency they are forced to wait for pilgrims to pass.”
