Amarnath Pilgrims Stopped

Around 300 devotees have been left stranded at the Jammu base camp after they were stopped from proceeding on the Amarnath Yatra due to fake permits issued by their travel agents.

From a massive security grid to radio frequency tags, the centre and the Jammu and Kashmir administration are pulling out all stops to ensure the safety and security of pilgrims during the annual Amarnath yatra, which began today.

A senior Jammu and Kashmir government officer has alleged that he was held up for hours in an ambulance with his father's body on the Srinagar-Jammu national highway because of traffic restrictions for the Amarnath Yatra on Thursday.

Amarnath Yatra 2018: Bad weather along both the north and south Kashmir routes of Baltal and Pahalgam on Thursday halted the Amarnath Yatra that officially started earlier today.

As a group of terrorists surrounded a bus with 61 Amarnath pilgrims on Monday night and fired indiscriminately, driver Sheikh Saleem Gafoor Bhaikept kept driving. In inky darkness, he drove on through the hail of bullets and didn't stop until he spotted an army camp.

The movement of pilgrims to the Baltal base camp, one of the two base camps of the annual Hindu pilgrimage Amarnath Yatra in Jammu and Kashmir, was today stopped due to landslides.

Authorities have stopped 13 buses, carrying around 2,000 pilgrims, at Lakhanpur due to overcrowding of Bhagwarti Nagar base camp following the suspension of Amarnath Yatra due to bad weather.

To ensure smooth passage of cavalcades of Amarnath yatra and traffic-free highway at night, the police have stopped over 1,000 pilgrims at entry point to Jammu and Kashmir's Kathua district.

At least 600 Amarnath-bound pilgrims, led by Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) workers, courted arrest today after they were prevented from proceeding towards the hill shrine by the state administration.
