Gupta and Thakur informed members that LG of J&K UT, Manoj Sinha will be contacted and requested to restore this year’s yatra in view of sharp decline in number of COVID cases and respecting the sentiments of devotees of Lord Mahadev Ji.
Members further demanded that if SASB headed by Lt Governor does not accede to the demand, then a peaceful protest may be launched.
To chalk out the further action Plan, an Sangharash Committee was formed to launch the agitation.

They further informed that failing which Sangharash Committee shall be constrained to resort to other democratic measures including peaceful protests.
