SRINAGAR: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday directed officials to provide the best possible medical treatment to six Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra pilgrims who were injured after their vehicle met with an accident near Toldi Nallah in Udhampur district.
The devotees, hailing from Rewa in Madhya Pradesh, were on their way to the Pahalgam base camp for the holy cave darshan when their vehicle skidded off the road.

Taking note of the incident, the Lieutenant Governor directed the Divisional Commissioner Jammu, Deputy Commissioner Udhampur and medical authorities at GMC Jammu and GMC Udhampur to ensure proper care and treatment of the injured devotees.
“I pray to Lord Shiva for their swift recovery,” the LG said.
