"I am sending a few observations to the Raj Bhawan. I came back from Yatra yesterday, I have some suggestions because I saw several problems there and these problems cannot be blamed on others, the concerned authority is to be held responsible," the Shankaracharya told reporters here.

The Puri Shankaracharya said while narrow roads can be blamed on Pahalgam Development Authority, other issues relating to the yatra like ecology and cleanliness are governed by the Shri Amarnath Shrine Board (SASB).

"Cleanliness is an issue, polythene is going there in quintals every day which is hurting the environment there," he said.

The Shankaracharya also met hardline Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani at the latter's Hyderpora residence and discussed the situation in the state.
