A batch of pilgrims left from Pantha Chowk base camp in Srinagar on Monday morning for their onward pilgrimage to the Amarnath cave shrine.
The pilgrims were heard shouting “Bam Bam Bhole” slogans on their way to the holy shrine.
Devi Lal Kumawat, a pilgrim, said that the arrangements made for the yatra were very good. “I have not seen such a facility anywhere. I would like to thank our Army for this. I will come here every year,” he said.
Another pilgrim told ANI that the administration had helped in every way and that the local people were also very cooperative. “Everyone should come and see Kashmir. We are very happy to be here,” he said.
The 62-day-long Amarnath Yatra, which began on July 1, will culminate on August 31, 2023.
