On Sunday, when the weather was much better, 6,491 people went to the Amarnath holy cave to do darshan.
The yearly Amarnath Yatra started again from the Baltal base camp on July 10 after the weather got better in the union state of Jammu and Kashmir.
An source said that the government also brought back Chopper services to help the tourists.
The Yatra began again on Sunday afternoon at the Pahalgam base camp.
The yatra was put on hold on Friday because of heavy rain and floods, especially along the two routes: the usual 48-kilometer Pahalgam route in the district of Anantnag and the 14-kilometer Baltal route in the district of Ganderbal.
On Sunday, when the weather was much better, 6,491 people went to the Amarnath holy cave to do darshan.
There were 4,700 men, 1,456 women, 213 children, 116 Sadhus, and 6 Sadvis among the 93,929 visitors who had visited the cave shrine by Sunday.
On Sunday, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha met with top officials from the government, the police, and the Shri Amarnath Ji Shrine Board to talk about plans for the annual journey and how to fix a part of the National Highway that had been damaged by the constant rain.
J&K Police said in a press release that the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway will stay closed on Monday because a part of the road collapsed in the Ramban district.
On Sunday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah also talked to LG Sinha about the Amarnath Yatra, which has been stopped since Friday because of heavy rains.
An official statement says that state agencies and government offices help visitors the whole way by making sure they have everything they need and all the services they need.
Under the guidance of camp leaders, all facilities are made available to yatris. This includes “Langars,” which are community kitchens, health facilities, help from service providers like “poniwallaa,” “pithuwalas,” and “dandiwalas,” as well as cleaning and many other services.
The Shri Amarnath Yatra began on July 1 and will end on August 31, 2023, after 62 days.
