Jammu: Even as curfew continued in Kishtwar and seven other districts of Jammu and Kashmir, the Amarnath Yatra resumed on Tuesday. The state government has made elaborate security arrangements to ensure safe passage for the pilgrims.
"The Amarnath Yatra resumed early today (Tuesday). 225 pilgrims were allowed to move from here to the Valley around 4.30 a.m. this morning," a police official said.
"The pilgrims moved in six buses and one light vehicle. Adequate security has been provided to ensure their safety," he said.
The yatra resumed from Jammu base camp after being suspended for the last three days due to curfew.
Around 250 pilgrims had been stranded at the Jammu base camp and Bhudda Amarnath Yatra at Bagwati Nagar for the past few days.
Meanwhile, Kishtwar continued to remain on edge as the communal violence in the district claimed the lives of three people since Friday. Eleven people have been arrested in connection with the communal clashes in Kishtwar.
