PDP President Mehbooba Mufti on Monday slammed the government for its "recklessness" in not limiting number of pilgrims and extending roads in Jammu and 🐼Kashmir, warn𓆏ing that Amarnath and Vaishno Devi can face a Joshimath-like situation.
“Joshimath is just the tip of the iceberg. In similar ecologically fragile states like J&K, Shri Amarnath & Vaishno Devi are enviro🌠nmental disasters in waiting. GOIs sheer recklessness to not limit the number of pilgrims & extend roads right into these spots will cause havoc,” Mehbooba said in a series of tweets.
The former ch💎ief minister said the destruction due to land subs🌱idence in Joshimath has not served as a wake-up call for the government.
“Sadly the destruction that sank Joshimath hasn’t served as a wake u🐓p call for GOI. They lack vision & can only flare communal tensions to divert public attention fromꦡ their failures,” she charged.
Joshimath, the gateway to famous pilgrimage sites like Badrinath and Hemkund Sahib and international skiing destination Auli, is facing a maj♏or challenge due to land subsidence.
