JAMMU, Dec 21: In a testimony of non-serious approach towards three highly revered religious places of Jammu region, the Government has failed to establish full-fledged Boards for better administration, management and governance of Shri Shiv Khori Shrine in Reasi district and Shri Mata Sukrala Devi and Shri Mata Bala Sundari Shrines in Kathua district.
As per the Jammu and Kashmir Shri Shiv Khori Shrine Act, 2008 and Shri Mata Sukrala Devi and Shri Mata Bala Sundari Shrine Act, 2013, the administration, management and governance of these shrines and shrine fund vest in the respective Boards. These Boards are supposed to provide all the facilities for the convenience of the pilgrims and undertake developmental activities concerning the shrines and in the adjoining areas.
