Why was the permission given to Kanwar Yatra? Supreme Court issues notice to UP and Central Government

 

In the midst of the Corona crisis, a notice has been issued by the Supreme Court to the UP and Central Government for allowing Kanwar Yatra. The top court has issued notices to the governments and sought answers regarding the permission given to the Kanwar Yatra. The court has decided to hear the matter on Friday. Taking suo motu cognizance of the matter, a bench of Justice RF Nariman has issued notices to the Center and the UP government. Now the top court has fixed July 16 for this hearing of the matter.

Justice R.F. While hearing the matter, Nariman said that we have read disturbing news that the UP government is giving permission to the Kanwar Yatra, while the Uttarakhand government has banned it. While hearing the matter, the bench said that on the one hand, PM Narendra Modi has told the need to take strict action to deal with Corona. At the same time, the UP government is approving the Kanwar Yatra. The top court has sought answers from the UP, Uttarakhand and the central government on the matter by Friday morning. The court said that the Kanwar Yatra is to start from July 25. Therefore, it is necessary to have an early hearing on this important issue.
