Amarnath Yatra Resumes After Six-Day Weather Suspension; Over 6,000 Pilgrims Depart Jammu
The annual Amarnath Yatra resumed from Jammu on July 25 after a six-day suspension due to heavy rainfall and adverse weather conditions. Over 6,200 pilgrims, including women, children, and Sadhus, departed from the Bhagwati Nagar base camp in a convoy of 223 vehicles heading to the Baltal base camp under tight security. The Pahalgam route remains closed due to ongoing weather concerns.

Nearly four lakh pilgrims have visited the shrine so far.
