Online Desk: The Indian government’s decision to proceed with the massive Amarnath Yatra amidst growing environmental concerns has ignited widespread criticism and fears of irreparable harm to the fragile ecosystem of Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK).
According to Kashmir Media Service, environmental critics and experts have voiced alarm over the significant threats posed by the large-scale pilgrimage to IIOJK’s environment, already strained by climate change impacts.
They argue that the Modi regime is turning a blind eye to the environmental risks associated with the massive influx of Hindu pilgrims to the Amarnath Cave in south Kashmir. They warn that the current form of the pilgrimage could lead to long-term ecological damage in the Himalayan region.
