"We have talked to astronomers and persons well versed in religious scriptures. We have asked them to suggest a remedy to overcome this situation. On their advice, a special yajna will be performed at the Narasimha temple here from January 22 to 31," the seer said. He said the land-subsidence incident in Joshimath should be declared as 'Rashtriya apada' (national calamity).
