Jammu and Kashmir Socio Economic Coordination Committee (JKSECC), an amalgam of various trade, industrial, travels, tour, tourism, horticultural, educational, contractors, pharmaceutical, houseboat, bakers, transporters and civil society formations, on Sunday demanded immediate withdrawal of the ban imposed on the movement on national highway during Amarnath Yatra.
According to a statement, JKSECC said, “Tthe order is adversely affecting all segments of society, in particular patients in ambulances, students, horticulturists, tourists and most of all the locals who work on day to day basis.”
“It is unfortunate that the locals who have always welcomed the pilgrims with open arms and permit us to say that Kashmiri Muslims have facilitated their travel, food and shelter wherever required when even the Government, at times, had failed,” it said.
