UNION COMMUNICAT­ION MINISTER MANOJ SINHA HAS ASSURED THEM FOR PROVISION OF PROPER ARRANGEMEN­TS

GURDASPUR: A delegation of members of Parliament (MPS) from Punjab, led by Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) chief and Gurdaspur MP Sunil Jakhar, met the Union communicat­ion minister, Manoj Sinha, and asked him to provide better communicat­ion facilities to pilgrims on the Amarnath route.

Jakhar, in a press statement issued on Wednesday, said that Amarnath Langar Seva Samiti had been offering free food at Pissu Top point on the Pahalgamch­andanwari route during the yatra in Jammu and Kashmir for the past two decades. “However, due to lack of communicat­ion facilities around the Pissu Top area, both devotees and administra­tors had to face problems,” he said.

Meanwhile, Sinha has assured him that adequate arrangemen­ts will be made by the government in this regard.

Ludhiana MP Ravneet Singh Bittu MP and Amritsar MP Gurjit Singh Aujla had also accompanie­d Jakhar.
