Amarnath Yatra crosses 3 lakh pilgrims in just 12 days, sets new record

Shri Amarnath Ji Yatra has set a historic new record, crossing the 3 lakh mark in just 12 days, LG Manoj Sinha on Tuesday wrote on X.

“I commend all the officials, service providers and volunteers. Their dedication and hard work have made this holy pilgrimage smooth and memorable for every devotee of Baba Barfani”, he added.

Meanwhile, the 57-days annual yatra had started on 3 July. The yatra will conclude on 28 August on the day of Raksha Bandhan.

The number of pilgrims was swelling day by day although the Ice-Shivling in the cave shrine has already melted likely due to climate warming.
