Kashmir, June 4,2026-Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to chair a high-level review meeting in New Delhi on June 8 to assess preparations for the upcoming Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra.

The June 8 review meeting is expected to provide the final roadmap for coordination among all stakeholders and reinforce efforts to ensure a safe, peaceful, and well-managed pilgrimage season.
