The Amarnath Yatra, an annual Hindu pilgrimage to Jammu and Kashmir's Amarnath Temple, has been suspended for two consecutive years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With Covid cases declining in Jammu and Kashmir, the union territory's administration will, in all likelihood, resume the Amarnath Yatra, giving devotees of Lord Shiva cause to celebrate.
"We are hopeful that this year the yatra will take place as the impact of coronavirus is going down," Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha told NDTV.
The Amarnath Yatra, an annual Hindu pilgrimage to Jammu and Kashmir's Amarnath Temple, has been suspended for two consecutive years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to Mr Sinha, the Jammu and Kashmir administration will be reviewing the Covid situation and taking a decision on the registration of yatris soon.
