Srinagar: The Amarnath Yatra on Tuesday resumed from the shortest Baltal route after remaining suspended for three days following a cloudburst near the Shrine that left 16 people dead and many injured on 8 July.
As many as 7,264 including 1,695 women, 84 children and 30 sadhus left Dumail on the Baltal route onwards to the holy cave shrine.
The yatra from the traditional Pahalgam route was restored Monday and pilgrims were allowed to proceed from Nunwan Base Camp and at halting points of Chandanwari and Panjtarni. (with Agency inputs)
