Srinagar, July 25: The Amarnath Yatra will continue through the Baltal axis, while the Pahalgam axis will remain temporarily closed for pilgrimage due to repair and maintenance works necessitated by recent rainfall.
Divisional Commissioner Kashmir, Anshul Garg, in a statement, said the recent rains have caused conditions requiring urgent repair and restoration works along the Pahalgam route. “Due to the recent rains, urgent repair and maintenance works are required to be carried out on the Pahalgam Axis of Shri Amarnathji Yatra. The Yatra shall continue through the Baltal Axis, for which adequate arrangements have been put in place to ensure a smooth and safe pilgrimage,” he said.
He said comprehensive arrangements have been made on the Baltal axis to ensure the uninterrupted continuation of the Yatra and the safe and smooth movement of pilgrims.
As of Saturday, more than 3.95 lakh pilgrims have undertaken darshan at the Holy Amarnath Cave Shrine during this year’s Yatra, reflecting the successful and peaceful conduct of the pilgrimage.
