The Jammu and Kashmir administration on June 27 said it was planning to promote shrine tourism to attract devotees from across the country to the Union Territory (UT).
“Just as people come to the Amarnath Yatra, devotees can also visit revered shrines like Hazratbal, Charar-e-Sharief etc. in the Valley. Reviving shrine tourism can attract people from different parts of the country,” J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, who paid obeisance at the Hazratbal shrine, said on June 27.
He sought feedback from BJP leader and J&K Waqf Board chairperson Darakhshan Andrabi on the suggestion.
