JAMMU, July 01:
Amid stringent security measures, the second batch of 4,416 Amarnath pilgrims embarked on their journey to Kashmir today to undertake the sacred pilgrimage through both the Pahalgam and Baltal routes.
According to YogeshTak, the Incharge of Bhagwati Nagar Base Camp, the pilgrims, including 3,487 males, 616 females, and 15 children, departed for Kashmir this morning from the base camp in Bhagwati Nagar, Jammu. The second batch also comprised 227 sadhus and 22 sadhvis who eagerly set out for the holy Amarnathyatra in Kashmir.
Among the pilgrims, a total of 2,733 individuals will undertake their pilgrimage through the traditional Pahalgam route, while 1,683 yatris have chosen the Baltal route for their sacred journey.
Escorted by eight vehicles, including an Army-MI escort vehicle and an ambulance, the batch of Amarnath pilgrims commenced their voyage to Kashmir under tight security arrangements.
Meanwhile, the Bhagwati Nagar markets are bustling with activity, experiencing an influx of devotees. Shopkeepers in the area expressed their delight at the substantial increase in business this year.
Ajay Anand, a shopkeeper from Bhagwati Nagar, remarked, “This year, there is undoubtedly a significant surge in Amarnath pilgrims compared to previous years. Every year, the business sees a slight uptick during the AmarnathYatra, but this year we are particularly pleased as the yatris freely traverse the base camp area, resulting in increased business compared to recent years.”
Enhanced security measures have been implemented in and around Bhagwati Nagar, with all entry and exit points sealed off and additional checkpoints established at various locations. Intense scrutiny and thorough checks are being conducted on individuals to ensure the safety and security of all involved.
