The devotees left for Pahalgam and Baltal to perform the pilgrimage in 71 vehicles, including 50 buses and 21 light motor vehicles. The yatra is smoothly heading on the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway. So far, it was suspended twice from here so far due to Kashmir situation, in view of self-styled Hizbul Commander Burhan Wani’s first death anniversary and closed highway due to landslide.
