Srinagar: After remaining suspended for a day due to inclement weather, the Amarnath Yatra resumed from here today, as the fourth batch of 6,877 pilgrims left for the twin base camps in Kashmir, officials said.
The pilgrims, including 1,429 women and 250 sadhus, left the Bhagwati Nagar base camp here in the morning for Nunwan-Pahalgam and Baltal base camps in 229 vehicles under tight security arrangements, they said.
The yatra from Jammu was allowed to resume after traffic on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway was restored. Traffic on the highway was suspended yesterday as a precautionary measure due to threat of floods in the Valley.
