NEW DELHI: A marginal dip has been witnessed in the number of people undertaking the Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage in Jammu and Kashmir, apparently due to the ongoing militant unrest in the State.
The pilgrimage will begin tomorrow and conclude on August 7.
As many as 2.15 lakh pilgrims have registered with the Shri Amarnathji Shrine Board (SASB), which conducts the annual pilgrimage to the high-altitude shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva.
There has been a marginal dip in the registration of pilgrims and this could be due to the current unrest in the Kashmir Valley, a home ministry official said. (AGENCIES)
