Order of the National Green Tribunal in the matter of Gauri Maulekhi Vs. State of Jammu & Kashmir & Others dated 14/12/2017 regarding lack of infrastructural facilities for devotees visiting Amaarnath Shrine.
NGT makes it clear that its order dated 13th December, 2017 [2] has neither intended nor actually declared the entire area falling under the Amarnath Shrine Board as a Silence Zone. The only restriction the Tribunal had placed is that the devotee/pilgrim or anybody while standing in front of the Amarnath Shivling – a natural formation in the cave shall maintain silence at that place. This restriction shall not apply to the daily Aarti that is performed.
