JAMMU LINKS NEWS | A federation of various service providers to the Amarnath pilgrims has suggested limiting the two-month-long pilgrimage period to the holy cave shrine in South Kashmir Himalayas to 30 days.

Shri Amarnathji Barfani Langer Organisation (SABLO), an association of various organisations serving Amarnath yatris free en route and providing them with food, blanket, night shelter etc, proposed cutting down the pilgrimage duration to 30 days saying 90 per cent of the pilgrims have darshan of the holy 'shivlingam' at the cave within a month after the start of the yatra.

The SABLO made the suggestion during a meeting of the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB), which manages the annual pilgrimage to the shrine located at an altitude of 3880 metre in Kashmir, an official spokesman said.

The meeting was chaired by Jammu and Kashmir Governor N N Vohra, who is also the SASB chairman.
