Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, while speaking on the Amarnath Yatra on Wednesday, said that the Supreme Court has already set a limit on the number of pilgrims undertaking the pilgrimage and the Shrine Board is bound to enforce it. Referring to people trying to undertake pilgrimage without registration, he said that this matter is the matter of Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board. Regarding premature melting of naturally formed ice Shivalinga, Omar said that it is beyond human control.
CM Omar Abdullah said, ‘Talking about Shivling, it is created by God. Neither you nor I can decide how long this will last. I can’t even decide how long it should last. This time it lasted for six days.
What did Iltija Mufti say on Baba Barfani?
Iltija Mufti, daughter of former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, has raised questions over the premature interment of Baba Barfani. He said through a post on social media platform This place is very important for Hindus and has been in existence since the 12th century, but sadly, some such steps are being taken here, like unnecessary construction, huge crowd of devotees and a big rope-way project, which can cause huge losses here.
He said, ‘Amarnath Yatra is deeply connected with the spirit of Kashmiriyat and pilgrims are always welcome, but to maintain this tradition, I hope that SASB will take more care and understanding towards this holy site. We should not forget that there was a time when natural formations made of ice persisted for a long time even after the duration of the journey.
almost completely melted icicle
Actually, the Shivalinga made of natural ice in Amarnath cave has almost completely melted. Only a few days have passed since the Amarnath Yatra started. This yatra is going to last for a total of 57 days, which started from July 3. In the first 4 days of the beginning of the Yatra, more than 80 thousand devotees had seen Baba Barfani in the Amarnath cave, but now Baba Barfani is not visible. In the picture of Himling that was revealed on July 6, Baba Barfani has disappeared by almost 90 percent.
