The annual Amarnath pilgrimage resumed on Monday after a six‑day pause caused by heavy snowfall in the high Himalayas. More than 6,000 devotees left Jammu to begin the trek, marking the first movement of the Yatra after the weather halt. Officials confirmed that no convoy was dispatched via the Pahalgam route, a key access corridor that had been closed due to the snow. Pilgrims now expect to reach the Amarnath shrine over the coming days, with authorities monitoring conditions closely.
