Jain society to take call on ongoing fast

Jaipur: Tourism and ecotourism activity has been banned at Sammed Shikharji, a Jain pilgrimage centre in Giridih, Jharkhand. The Central government withdrew its order issued three years ago on Thursday. The Union Environment Ministry has given instructions to ban all tourism and ecotourism activities and now the ball is in court of the Jharkhand government.

Decision has not yet been taken on the saint’s fast unto death which has been going on for three days in Jaipur. People of Jain society said that whether they will postpone the fast or not, decision will be taken today. Meanwhile, in Jodhpur, a silent procession on behalf of entire Jain society was postponed.
