Srinagar: The Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) decided to cancel this year's pilgrimage to the cave shrine in south Kashmir Himalayas in the wake of the closure of religious places in Jammu and Kashmir due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The decision to cancel the annual Amarnath Yatra was taken at a meeting of the shrine board chaired by SASB chairman Lieutenant Governor G C Murmu here.

It said the board will, however, live telecast the ''virtual darshan'' of the prayers twice a day.
