Jammu, The annual Amarnath Yatra resumed from Jammu on Saturday after remaining suspended for six days due to inclement weather, with a fresh batch of over 6,000 pilgrims leaving the Bhagwati Nagar base camp for Baltal base camp in Kashmir Valley, officials said.
On July 19, the yatra was suspended as a precautionary measure following persistent rainfall and adverse weather conditions across Jammu and Kashmir, especially along the twin routes -- traditional 48-km Pahalgam route in Anantnag district and the shorter 14-km Baltal route in Ganderbal district -- to the 3,880-metre-high holy cave shrine.
