The Amarnath Yatra which was halted in Jammu and Kashmir has been resumed after improvements in weather.

The Yatra was resumed from both the on-foot routes (Baltal and Pahalgam).

Also, air sorties by administration resume from Baltal.

The annual Yatra which was to start from June 28 was later suspended due to heavy rainfall in the valley.

A flood alert was sounded in the south and central Kashmir after many parts of the state were lashed by monsoon rains intermittently since June 27, leaving thousands of pilgrims who have reached the twin base camps of Baltal in Ganderbal district and Pahalgam in Anantnag district stranded.
