First Amarnath Yatra Batch To Leave Today Amid Tight Security
Amid tight security after the Pahalgam terror attack, the first batch of pilgrims for the annual Amarnath Yatra will leave from Jammu on Wednesday morning.
While the 38-day-long Yatra will formally start on Thursday, Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, who is also the chairman of the Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board, will flag off the first batch of pilgrims towards the twin base camps at Pahalgam and Baltal on Wednesday.
The Yatra route from both Pahalgam and Baltal axis has been declared as no-fly zone due to serious security concerns following terrorist attack on tourists on April 22 in Pahalgam.
