J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday (June 11, 2025) performed the Pratham Puja at the Amarnath shrine located in south Kashmir’s Pahalgam, and urged devotees to turn up in large numbers for this year’s pilgrimage that starts from July 3.
The pilgrimage spot lies in the same district as the Baisaran meadow where a deadly terrorist attack left 26 civilians dead on April 22.
