The Amarnath Yatra resumed on Thursday after a brief suspension due to landslides along the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway. A fresh batch of pilgrims set out from the Pantha Chowk base camp, en route to the Amarnath cave via the Baltal and Pahalgam routes.
The landslides had made certain stretches of the highway impassable, necessitating the suspension of the yatra to ensure the safety of the pilgrims. However, the highway was cleared of debris and the yatra was allowed to resume after a few hours.
The Amarnath Yatra is an annual pilgrimage to the holy cave shrine of Shri Amarnath in the Himalayas. The yatra is held in the month of July and August, and is one of the most popular pilgrimages in India.
The pilgrims who set out on Thursday were excited to resume their journey to the Amarnath cave. They expressed their gratitude to the authorities for clearing the highway and allowing the yatra to resume.
The yatra is expected to continue without any further disruptions. The pilgrims are advised to follow the safety instructions issued by the authorities and to be vigilant at all times.
