Amarnath Yatra is starting again on Monday. The yatra was postponed following a cloudburst after the Amarnath cave on Friday evening. So far 16 people have died in this accident. The army resumed the rescue operation on Saturday morning. 35 injured have been airlifted. 45 people are still missing and the mountain rescue team is looking for them. The rescue operation of the army went on all night. Nobody recovered during this period.
CRPF DG Kuldeep Singh said that right now we are taking all precautionary measures to see if all the missing people are found or not. No traveler is allowed beyond the base camps at Pahalgam and Baltal.
Despite the accident, enthusiasm among devotees
Despite the influx near the holy cave on Friday, there has been no loss in the courage of the pilgrims going for the Amarnath Yatra. Late on Friday, a batch of pilgrims from the Jammu base camp left for Baltal and Pahalgam base camps in Kashmir.
279 vehicles of pilgrims from Jammu were dispatched in the convoy. However, the local people have called it the mismanagement of the administration. They say that the number of pilgrims at the Bhagwatipur base camp in Jammu had increased, so despite the suspension of the yatra, the pilgrims were sent to Baltal and Pahalgam.
Cloud burst within a radius of one or two km of the holy cave
There was a cloudburst near Amarnath cave at 5.30 pm on Friday. At the time when the cloud burst, 10 to 15 thousand devotees were present near the cave. Three women are also among those who died in this incident. ITBP said that 15 thousand people have been safely taken to Panchtarni near the holy cave.
Due to the cloudburst, about 25 tents and two to three langars set up for the devotees were washed away by the strong current from the mountains. Due to the rain, the entire area was rapidly flooded and many people got affected by it. Several pilgrims are missing and they are feared to be washed away in the strong current.
