Over 1.55
lakh people register for Amarnath Yatra Jammu:
Over 1.55 lakh people have registered themselves till now for the annual Amarnath
Yatra which begins from June 15. According to data available, 52,700 people have
registered themselves for the pilgrimage from the Delhi zone itself, while 31,400
pilgrims are from the Mumbai zone and 2,700 from the South zone. The pilgrimage
was to begin from June 7, but was postponed to June 15 due to the heavy snowfall
enroute to the holy shrine. The two month long pilgrimage concludes on August
5. Last year, over 4.5 lakh pilgrims visited the cave. The cave is situated at
an altitude of 3,888 meters, and is about 141 km from Srinagar. Devotees generally
take the 42 km pilgrimage on foot from the town of Pahalgam, located about 96
km from Srinagar. It takes four to five days to complete the journey on foot. -Jun
