Jammu : Jammu and Kashmir Governor N.N. Vohra Friday proposed to reconstitute the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board by including prominent citizens of Jammu as members.

He also proposed to establish an Advisory Committee to suggest ways for ensuring smooth and regulated pilgrimage to the Amarnath shrine every year.
