Amid tight security, the 14th batch of 6,400 Amarnath Yatra pilgrims on July 13 left for twin base camps of the 3,880-metre-high holy cave shrine in south Kashmir Himalayas, officials said.
The yatra, which was suspended from Jammu due to bad weather on Sunday, resumed on Monday. A flash flood triggered by a cloudburst near the cave shrine on Friday afternoon has led to the death of at least 16 people. Around 40 are still missing.
A total of 6,415 pilgrims left here in a convoy of 258 vehicles amid heavy security of CRPF, the officials said.
