The trip was canceled last year due to Corona
Due to Corona, there was a lot of tussle over the Amarnath Yatra last year. There was a round of yes-no-yes-no at the Raj Bhavan in Jammu on 22 April. Raj Bhavan first informed about the cancellation of the Amarnath Yatra, but later canceled the press release itself. Giving clarification in another press release after an hour, it was said that due to Corona, it is not possible to travel on the scheduled dates. However, the decision was made to decide later whether or not there would be a visit. The trip was ultimately canceled due to the situation.
