Amarnath Tragedy: 72 Hours On, No Clear Data On Number Of Missing
It has been more than 72 hours since a flash flood near the Amarnath shrine swept away dozens of pilgrims, killing at least 16. During this period, there is no formal statement by the Amarnath Shrine Board or the Jammu and Kashmir administration about the exact number of missing pilgrims. An initial estimate by different security agencies had put the number at 40. Eventually, there were many more distressed calls from relatives who couldn't contact their dear ones who had gone for the yatra.
