It had said that Hindus were not responsible for every ecological problem on the earth.<\/p>\n<p>However, environment activist Gauri Maulekhi, on whose plea the directions were passed, had welcomed the order and termed it &#8220;good and progressive&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Amarnath cave is located in a delicate ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>The directions would make the Amarnath Yatra safe and convenient for the devotees. This would protect the shrine from degradation and ensure it is protected for the coming generations.
