JAMMU: J&K and Ladakh high court has ordered Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB) to restore permission to Ludhiana-based Bhole Bhandari Charitable Trust to set up a langar (community kitchen) at Panchtarni — a scenic rest camp 15km from the last stoppage at Sheshnag Lake on the shrine route — to serve the pilgrims.
