Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik on Sunday said that Kashmiri Muslims have been playing a key role in making the annual pilgrimage Amarnath Yatra successful.

“All the arrangements for yatra are being made by the state government. We have taken care of all the security measures to ensure successful conduct of yatra. However, it is a fact that for carrying out the successful yatra, a major role is not played by forces or police but Kashmiri people particularly the Kashmir Muslims who have upheld cultural ethos by playing an important role in the yatra for ages,” Malik said while inaugurating the last phase of Rambagh-JehangirChowk flyover.

He was responding to media queries about the measures taken by the state government for the yatra.
