He informed that these materials will be distributed among the devotees of Mata Vaishno Devi to raise awareness.
Sahni said that Amarnath Yatra is currently underway and devotees from across the country are visiting J&K in large number.
“Distributing this booklet among them aims to invite their support for revival of the pilgrimage in its old form,” he maintained adding that they are not against development but compromising religious pilgrimages is something they vehemently oppose.
