Amarnath Yatra resumes on Baltal route

The Amarnath Yatra resumed on the Baltal route in Ganderbal district on Tuesday, July 12 2022, after a four-day suspension following flash floods that claimed 15 lives and left several injured, officials said.

They said a fresh batch of the pilgrims left the Baltal base camp early morning for the cave shrine.

Flash floods near the shrine on July 8 left at least 15 people dead and over 30 missing, forcing the temporary suspension of the pilgrimage.

The pilgrimage had resumed on July 11, 2022, via the Pahalgam route.
