The Prime Minister said the Indian armed forces were suffering more casualties from terrorism than from war. Noting that this is a global problem, the Prime Minister said all humanitarian forces of the world should unite to fight it. “India is committed to strengthening and uniting these humanitarian forces,” he said.Photo: Amarnathji Yatra concludes; over 3.72 lakh pilgrims pay obeisance News (10.08.2014) SRINAGAR: The annual pilgrimage to the Holy Cave Shrine of Shri Amarnathji concluded today on Shravan Purnima amid chanting of religious hymns in the spiritual ambience of South Kashmir Himalayas.
