4758 अमरनाथ तीर्थयात्रियों का चौथा जत्था रवाना: 3 दिन में 20 हजार ने दर्शन किए; जम्मू पुलिस बोली- यात्रियों पर लाठीचार्ज के आरोप मनगढ़ंत

When the group of pilgrims left on Monday morning, the enthusiasm of the people was visible with cheers.

The fourth batch of 4,758 pilgrims on Monday left the base camp for the Amarnath cave shrine in the South Kashmir Himalayas. Till Monday morning, 20 thousand pilgrims have visited Baba Barfani.

3030 pilgrims took the traditional 48 km long Pahalgam route while 1728 pilgrims took the difficult 14 km Baltal route.

The fourth batch of pilgrims left in two back-to-back convoys between 3.40 am and 4.10 am. These convoys were escorted by 8 security vehicles and an ambulance.

Significantly, the 62-day Amarnath Yatra has started from July 1. Which will end with Chhadi Mubarak on August 31, Shravan Purnima.

A medical camp was organized for the Amarnath pilgrims at the Ram Mandir in Jammu.

LG Manoj Sinha flagged off the first batch on June 30, since then 17 thousand 565 pilgrims have left for the valley from Jammu base camp.

Jammu Police said – Allegations of lathi charge on passengers fabricated
On the other hand, the Jammu and Kashmir Police denied the allegations of lathicharge on Amarnath pilgrims on Sunday evening. The Ganderbal police issued a press release saying that a video is circulating on social media alleging that the police lathi-charged the passengers. However, this news is completely fabricated and baseless.

In fact, no passenger or tourist vehicle is being allowed to proceed after the cut-off time on the Yatra route. When the cutoff was being imposed on Sunday, some people blocked the National Highway. And started trying to go forward forcibly.

Meanwhile, the jawans of the Jammu and Kashmir Police stopped, so these people also stopped an ambulance carrying the patient. But the police personnel removed the protestors to make way for the ambulance.

Police say that some people are trying to damage the image of the police by spreading false news.

Landslide occurred early morning near Chandrakote on Jammu-Srinagar NH. NHAI is busy in clearing the way. The convoy of Amarnath pilgrims passes through this route.
