This is a very unfortunate incident and it is a shame for society. But why did this video (Manipur viral video) come before the start of this Parliament session? If someone was having this video they should have given it to the DGP, and action would have been taken on that day itself (May 4)...We have identified all those nine people and arrested them...I was there (Manipur) for three days, and during this period we made several decisions...The Paramilitary force has been deployed in the area for establishing normalcy in the state..: Amit Shah
I appeal to both Meitei and Kuki communities to engage in dialogue, violence is not a solution to any problem...I assure you that we will bring peace in the state. Politics should not be done on this issue: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Manipur violence

Srinagar, August 9: The annual Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage, a sacred journey to the revered Shri Amarnath cave shrine, has been temporarily halted as a result of a landslide occurrence along the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway within the Ramban district. The disruption was confirmed by officials on Wednesday.
The obstruction on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway has led to the suspension of the Amarnath Yatra route from Jammu to Srinagar, as well as the suspension of the Yatra movement from the Pantha Chowk base camp to Jammu. The pilgrimage will resume only after the authorities have successfully cleared the national highway for traffic.

This year's Amarnath Yatra, which commenced on July 1, is scheduled to conclude on August 31, 2023. The pilgrimage, lasting for a span of 62 days, holds immense spiritual significance for devotees who undertake this arduous journey.
