Amarnath Yatra: Fresh batch of pilgrims departs for Holy Shrine

Holy Amarnath Shrine

Srinagar: Another batch of pilgrims left for their journey to the Amarnath Yatra from Pantha Chowk on Wednesday.

The pilgrims set out for the holy shrine from the Pantha Chowk Srinagar base camp towards Baltal and Pahalgam Yatra base camp under heightened security measures.

Madhu, a pilgrim from Haryana, said, "We have come here to take the blessings of Baba. Our base camp is in Baltal and we are going there. The arrangements here are really nice. Everyone should come here once."

Another pilgrim from Bir said, "The weather this year is really nice and all the arrangements made are good. The crowd is however less this year. I am very excited. Everyone should come to visit."

Earlier, on July 15, a batch of pilgrims had left for their journey to Amaranth under heightened security measures. (with Agency inputs)
