Hunger strike: The Amarnath Yatra Sangharsh Samiti on Tuesday said it would hold relay hunger strike at all district headquarters in the Jammu region from July 20 to 27 in support of its demands over the Amarnath land row.

He also termed the Governor's reported statement “no land was taken nor any returned” as unfortunate. “If that is the case then what was the exercise that had been going on for the past three years? Why did the government first divert the land to the board and then revoke the order under pressure from the separatists,” he asked. — TNS
