Although the Yatra has resumed, the national highway connecting Srinagar to the Amarnath shrine remains closed due to landslides triggered by heavy rainfall in the region. The closure of the highway has posed logistical challenges for the pilgrims, who are now required to take alternative routes and modes of transportation to reach their destination.
Local authorities have set up temporary accommodations and facilities to ensure the well-being of the pilgrims along the alternate routes. Security personnel have been deployed to guide and assist the devotees throughout their journey, ensuring their safety and comfort.
Efforts are underway to clear the debris and restore the national highway for smooth vehicular movement. The concerned authorities have initiated road clearance operations to expedite the reopening of the crucial route.
Pilgrims are advised to stay updated through official channels and follow the instructions provided by the authorities regarding the status of the national highway. The safety of the devotees remains a top priority, and all necessary measures are being taken to facilitate a hassle-free and secure pilgrimage experience.
