To end row, Vohra drops land transfer move, asks J&K to take over Yatra

Muzamil Jaleel SRINAGAR, JUNE 29: Ending three weeks of controversy over the transfer of forest land to the Amarnath shrine board, Jammu and Kashmir's new Governor N N Vohra today stepped in and, in his capacity as chairman of the board, asked the state government to take over the Yatra arrangements. The Ghulam Nabi Azad government, reduced to a minority after partner PDP walked out of the coalition, promptly agreed and the board withdrew its request for the transfer of forest land.
