K. Choudhary said. <\/p>\n<p>Several Hindu religious leaders and environmentalists have expressed grave concern over tons of wastes like plastic bottles, wrappers and other non-biodegradable pollutants left behind by the pilgrims at base camps and various halting stations en route to the cave shrine, thereby threatening the ecology of the yatra area. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Jammu and Kashmir governor and SASB chairman N. N. Vohra has convened a post-yatra review meeting here on August 8 to assess camp-wise and route-wise the adequacy of the arrangements that were made for the conduct of 2012 yatra. Over 621,000 pilgrims visited the holy cave during this year&#8217;s yatra, which culminated yesterday, coinciding with the occasion of &#8216;Raksha bhandan&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source SRINAGAR,INDIA, August 3, 2012 (Economic Times): A massive sanitation drive has been launched en route to the 12,700 feet-high,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11224","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11224","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11224"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11224\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11224"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11224"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11224"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
