Srinagar: Another fresh batch of pilgrims left for their journey to the Amarnath shrine under heightened security measures on Sunday morning.
The enthusiastic pilgrims set out for the Holy Shrine amid tight security from Panthachowk Srinagar base camp towards Baltal and Pahalgam yatra base camps.
To allow pilgrims to seek blessings and connect with their faith, the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board organises the Amarnath Yatra, which is divided into two routes.
The routes include the one that goes through Pahalgam and the other that goes through Baltal. Baltal serves as the camping ground for pilgrims in the Ganderbal district of Jammu and Kashmir.
With the Amarnath Yatra underway, the Jammu and Kashmir Police have beefed up the security for this year's pilgrimage following the recent terror attacks. (with Agency inputs)
