Amarnath Yatra resumes on Baltal route after three days

SRINAGAR: The Amarnath Yatra resumed on the Baltal route in central Kashmir’s Ganderbal district today after remaining suspended for three days due to landslides and inclement weather.

The annual pilgrimage resumed on the Baltal route this morning, an official spokesman said.

He added that on the 10th day of the yatra, 10,107 pilgrims paid obeisance at the holy cave.

A total of 83,130 pilgrims have visited the cave shrine in the south Kashmir Himalayas during this year’s pilgrimage so far.

The spokesman said on the directions of Governor N N Vohra, MI-17 helicopters of the Indian Air Force continued to operate today and evacuated the remaining 241 of the 567 pilgrims, who were stranded at Panjtarni. (AGENCIES)
