Ramban: The 29th batch of pilgrims participating in the annual Amarnath Yatra crossed Chanderkote in Jammu and Kashmir’s Ramban district on Friday amid strict security arrangements.

The pilgrim convoy moved along the Jammu–Srinagar National Highway towards the Kashmir Valley, with security forces and civil administration ensuring smooth movement through the strategic route.

Multi-Layer Security Deployed Along Yatra Route

Security personnel were deployed at key locations along the highway, while traffic management measures were implemented to regulate vehicle movement and ensure the safe passage of the yatra convoy.

Officials monitored the route closely, with security agencies maintaining coordination to prevent any disruption during the movement of devotees.

Chanderkote, an important transit point on the Jammu–Srinagar National Highway, witnesses heavy movement of Shri Amarnath Yatra convoys every year as pilgrims proceed towards the Valley before reaching the holy cave shrine.

Pilgrimage Continues Under Tight Monitoring

The annual pilgrimage is being conducted under a multi-layered security framework, with forces stationed at sensitive stretches, transit points and designated halting areas.

The administration has maintained coordination between security agencies, traffic authorities and local officials to manage the large movement of pilgrims and ensure their safety throughout the journey.

The 29th batch crossed Chanderkote without any reported incident and continued towards the Kashmir Valley under security escort. Authorities have advised pilgrims to follow official guidelines, maintain discipline during travel and cooperate with security personnel deployed along the route.

The Amarnath Yatra attracts thousands of devotees from across India every year, who undertake the challenging Himalayan pilgrimage to seek blessings at the holy cave shrine. The smooth movement of the latest batch highlights the continued efforts of security forces and administration in ensuring a safe and organised pilgrimage.
