RAJOURI, Feb 17: Shiv Parivar Cave Committee (SPCC), a committee constituted by locals of Mankote Thandikassi village of Rajouri to ensure time bound development and raising of other infrastructures around the historic Shiv Parivar cave, today threatened to launch agitation for proper facilities to the tourists and devotees visiting this cave.
A meeting of the Shiv Pariwar Cave Committee (SPCC) was today held in the cave under the leadership of committee president Sarpanch Yogesh Sharma. All the members of committee, also from Muslim and Sikh community, took part in the meeting.
Addressing the meeting, Yogesh Sharma alleged that the Tourism Department and Rajouri Development Authority have badly failed in providing basic facilities to the devotees visiting this cave which is not only a religious destination but also a glaring example of religious unity as not only Hindus but Muslim and Sikh also pay their obeisance at the cave.
He said that about six years have passed since discovery of this historic cave but so far concerned authorities have paid no heed towards this place, which has huge tourist potential.
Mohammad Bau Hussain and Fojam Singh a Muslim and a Sikh respectively, who are members of the cave committee, also expressed their deep concern over non development of the cave shrine.
