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.
